Here’s our “first look” at season 13 of American Ninja Warrior

Season 13 of American Ninja Warrior is less than a week away! To help everyone get properly hyped up, check out this first look at the season featuring Matt Iseman, Akbar Gbajabiamila, and Zuri Hall.

The clip features quick snippets of runs we’ll see on the new season (as well as some runs from season 12). Matt, Akbar and Zuri give us their thoughts on season 13, including the brand new elements we’ll see.

Matt explains the new “split decision” which leaves Ninjas with a choice to make on the course. Akbar promises the obstacles are more intense than ever. Zuri says the women will make moves this year.

We know that the competitors get stronger and better every single year. With the addition of the teen rookies for season 13, the year promises to be a turning point in the show’s history.

And now the wait is almost over! Season 13 of American Ninja Warrior premieres on Monday, May 31 at 8 pm EST on NBC!
