The Subaru Palm Challenge is an annual contest organized by the Japanese automaker ‘Subaru’. The challenge rules are simple: anyone who has the hand on the vehicle the longest period wins a new Subaru car.

Although some people think that the challenge is not mental, it is actually one of the biggest mental and physical tests because it requires the endurance and perseverance of a champion. For Analiza, it took her 75 hours, 17 minutes and 58 seconds to win the championship title.
