What's your gladiator name?

We've seen some great contenders go up against the 16 Gladiators.

Sabre, Legend, Nitro, Diamond, Phantom, Athena, Bionic, Fire, Giant, Dynamite, Viper, Electro, Apollo, Comet, Steel and Fury have mad it their job to try to stop the contenders - members of the public - from winning a series of challenges.

We've seen 'Duel' - where players stand on small platforms and have to knock each other off using sticks - 'Hang Tough', 'Powerball', 'The Wall' and the super-tough 'Eliminator'.
