Jakob lassos Mark

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

In the studio, Mark says that Jakob’s attempt was either dumb luck, or an incredibly impressive plan. Jakob throws the lasso once, and it sticks onto one of the wooden boards to which the track has been nailed. Jakob asks Mark for assistance in freeing the lasso; when Mark nudges the lasso loop with his foot, Jakob quickly pulls the rope, successfully wrapping the lasso around Mark’s ankle. Jakob completes the task in 1 minute 55 seconds and earns first place.
