Matthieu uses garden canes to keep a basketball on a treadmill

Matthieu duct tapes two garden canes to the treadmill, either side of the basketball, to prevent it rolling too far in either direction, and for some reason uses a very light inflatable ring and a stuffed owl toy, to further secure one side.

The set-up is so reliable that he is able to walk away and leave it to take care of itself.

His time is recorded as 'infinity', since the ball did not come off the treadmill before the production team had to clear up the equipment.

He therefore earns joint first place.
