It’s not a secret that we’re jubilant over the news that the first-ever American Ninja Warrior Women’s Championship is on its way. Now, NBC has dropped the promo for the special two-hour episode just a week before its debut and it has us gasping for air.
The Women’s Championship will air on Sunday, May 9 (Mother’s Day) from 7-9 pm on NBC. 12 of the top women from the show will take on three rounds of competition, giving it their all for a chance at the $50,000 prize.
The competitors are:
- Jessie Graff
- Meagan Martin
- Jesse Labreck
- Allyssa Beird
- Sandy Zimmerman
- Tiana Webberley
- Mady Howard
- Jeri D’Aurelio
- Zhanique Lovett
- Rachael Goldstein
- Ashley McConville
- Michelle Warnky Buurma
(That’s a pretty great list, right?!?)
This special was recorded back in 2020, during the filming of season 12 in St. Louis. To say we’ve anxiously awaited the chance to tell you about it would be an understatement. This competition might be one of our favorite American Ninja Warrior specials to date. Be sure to tune in because you absolutely can’t miss this!
