First time competing-all-female team beat the all-male Orlando PD SWAT unit!
On February 9, 2026, the 7th UAE SWAT Challenge in Dubai gathered elite tactical police units from across the globe for one of the toughest law enforcement competitions anywhere.
For the first time ever, China fielded an all-female squad — carefully selected from a grueling national qualification process involving 48 top teams nationwide. 🇨🇳 The team hailed from Sichuan Province.
The stage was punishing: sprint through obstacles, nail precise shooting drills, then shoulder and carry a massive 120-kilogram tire across the course — no dragging, no rolling, pure lift-and-carry strength and teamwork.
The Sichuan all-female team powered through it 16 seconds faster than the all-male team from Orlando Police Department. 😮
In a timed event where every second counts, 16 seconds is a massive margin.
Footage of the performance exploded online — not as a rivalry flex, but as a quiet, powerful reminder that challenges outdated ideas about “strength,” “endurance,” and who belongs in elite tactical roles.
(China’s teams have been strong contenders before — they even took bronze overall in 2026, with one women’s squad outperforming many all-male units.)First time competing. All-female team. Beat the all-male Orlando PD SWAT unit by 16 seconds.
