Night three of the American Ninja Warrior Qualifiers brought some thrilling finishes and, of course, surprising exits.
Turns out the Pretzel Twist was a heavyweight of an obstacle. The new creation took out 17 Ninjas with its combination of awkward turns and grabs, and its drops and jolts. Overpass also did a significant amount of damage to the competition.
But the highs outweighed the lows in our opinion. We had 12 course completions with two of them being Mega Wall buzzers. Previously this season, we haven’t broken 10 course completions in a night.
