July 2, 2009 by Emily Claire Afan

Nickelodeon’s Guts will be making its premiere on CCTV this summer, as the Chinese pubcaster gets set to air the format adaptation of the series, Tiao Zhan Xiao Yong Shi.

The prime-time series is based on Nick’s hour-long action-sports game show and is the first kids format to air in the Chinese market. Each ep wil see kid contestants competing in a range of sporting events and obstacles, from basketball, high jumping, wave pool, and its Aggro-Crag mountain-climbing challenge, with falling boulders and trap doors.
