American Ninja Warrior has a new season Wednesday!

5

Just wanted to let everyone know that one of the best competition shows is back tomorrow on NBC at 8 PM EST.
If you haven’t seen American Ninja Warrior before, here’s the blurb from NBC:
The action-packed series follows competitors as they tackle a series of challenging obstacle courses in both city qualifying and city finals rounds across the country. Those that successfully complete the finals course in their designated region move on to the national finals round in Las Vegas, where they face a stunning four-stage course modeled after the famed Mt. Midoriyama course in Japan. The winner takes home a grand prize of $1 million.

Based on the global hit “Sasuke,” from the Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, the original series is now in its 31st season in Japan. To date, only three contestants have completed the Japanese course.

Last year, for the first time ever, someone finally finished Stage 4 and won after 7 seasons.
Unlike other shows, you’re not competing against anyone else- it’s you against the course. The better you do, the farther you go. If you don’t manage to finish the course, you might still advance if you were one of the people to get the furthest the fastest.

It’s amazing to see the physical strength, endurance, grit and determination of the competitors- these are some of the most fit people around.
