No tenemos la oración siguiente del texto original, por lo que no sé cómo quedaría mi propuesta. La idea de "reto" quizás pueda trasladarse a la oración siguiente. Si se divide una oración larga en español en dos más cortas en inglés y utilizas como sujeto de la segunda "this challenge", quizás puedas transmitir lo mismo con más libertad.
