This article was published prior to Drew Drechsel’s arrest. NBC and American Ninja Warrior have since cut ties with him.
Atlanta certainly created some memories on season 11 of American Ninja Warrior. Now that we can look back at the year as a whole, you really can’t talk about Atlanta without discussing how it was Drew Drechsel’s qualifying region. It was here that he earned the trifecta, becoming the only Ninja of the season to take the Mega Wall, Speed Pass, and Safety Pass. It was this city where he started the snowball of success that would keep rolling all the way to $1 million in the National Finals.
The Qualifiers also featured the doggie Warped Wall. Who could forget about that! Here’s a run down of what Atlanta had to offer this year.
