Nothing can keep a Ninja away from a competition. Not even a measly few thousand miles.
Several American Ninja Warrior competitors flew all the way to Australia to take part in the Ninja Challenge League Finals. The Challenge featured Ninjas from all over the planet, including six from the US. The winners received cash prizes and qualified for the Ninja League World Championship, which will take place in February at the XL Center in Hartford, CT.
You can read the full results here:
Mat Redho from Malaysia took first place over all.
Olivia Vivian from Australia was first place in the women’s division.
American Ninja Warrior Jake Murray came in second after making it to the third stage of the competition.
Lucio Battista, who has also competed on American Ninja Warrior, went out early on stage one, but he stuck around to help host the live stream of the event.
Ninja Warrior Jon Alexis Jr. made it to Stage Three and took sixth place. Then he made a really, really cute new friend.
Mike Ravert, who hasn’t appeared on the show just yet, made it all the way to Stage Three and took the tenth spot over all.
Henry Ferrarin made it to the second stage and used the opportunity to take his Ninja for a Cure message global.
Nick Patel also ended his run on Stage Two. It looks like he used his downtime to his advantage.
Both days of the competition were live-streamed, so if you’ve got about 15 hours to spare, you can check it out on the Ninja Challenge League YouTube.
