Olympic rower Katarzyna Zillmann sustained a serious tendon injury during a routine run prior to participating in the television program ‘Azja Express’. The injury required medical intervention and the use of an orthosis while she was in Asia, with Janja Lesar providing emotional and mental support during the recovery process.

During the competition, the duo faced further physical challenges, including a head injury sustained when Zillmann struck an open car trunk door during a task. Due to these physical struggles, Zillmann and Lesar were eliminated from the eighth season of ‘Asia Express’ in the second episode. Following their departure from the competition, which involves traveling through Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, they received 10,000 PLN as a consolation prize.
