A Week to Beat the World

Series 1

Malaysia Day 3

Duration: 15 minutes

First broadcast: on CBBC ChannelLatest broadcast: on CBBC HD

Watched over and cheered on by presenter Camille Ucan, they are here to learn the massively popular - and very tough - local sport of lion dancing. At the end of the week, they will compete in front of top local judges who will assess how many moves they have mastered.

So, after a morning of training, literally using their heads, presenter Camille has an unusual challenge for the girls at the local night market - they have to become the world’s fastest waiters, racing through the crowds with trays of drinks above their heads. Their challenge to not spill a drop. What can possibly go wrong? Show less
