always the hardest/best trained participants
According to Garzanti, "agguerrito":
1 combat-hardened, battle-trained
2 (fig.) inured, hardened, seasoned / un traduttore -, an expert translator; un sostenitore -, a passionate supporter.
I also like the idea that the German participants are the most "passionate", that they really give it all they´ve got.
It literally says "from always" but I think "always" on its own conveys it.

My husband had just registered and I did not realize that his profile was logged on, and not mine.
I think Maureen has the best solution, in any case.
ciao a tutti
