Philadelphia Qualifiers: What you didn’t see

The American Ninja Warrior Philadelphia Qualifiers doubled down in the making history department. Three women made it to the buzzer and two Ninjas beat the Mega Wall. The city also brought its own challenges. The clouds dumped buckets of rain on the course, so in total, 85 Ninjas tried the obstacles before things got too wet.

Here’s a recap of the episode.
