In fairness, the safety people said Akbar couldn’t do it because of his size, so she had to do it or they would have had to take some type of penalty. She knew it wasn’t her jam and he knew it wasn’t her jam. He is simply too competitive and focused on the need to win to focus on other rewards from competing, like persevering and doing something that petrifies you.
