Participants in the reality competition show ‘Asia Express’ have begun withdrawing from the competition due to personal hardships.

Ella Dvornik and Ines Kordić Miotto, members of the team ‘Skitnice’, withdrew following Dvornik’s health struggles, which included exhaustion and illness. Dvornik stated, “We essentially came to say goodbye, so this is our end,” after being questioned about her ability to continue.

Subsequently, Luna Valas withdrew from ‘Asia Express: Dragon’s Route’ following the death of her sister in Laos. Her partner, Katarina Mamić, intended to continue the race with a new partner, Luka Petrušić, while producers noted that Valas’s place remains open should she choose to return.
