Night one of Semifinals: Leaderboard and advancing Ninjas

The first night of the American Ninja Warrior Semifinals did not disappoint. The teens held their own in a big way. Six of them have sealed their paths to the National Finals. For anyone who wondered how far these young athletes would go, the answer is clear now. They’ll be in the final rounds for sure.

The first Power Tower battle was a matchup between Daniel Gil (no surprise) and Brian Burkhardt who impressed everyone. With no disrespect to Brian, we thought this was Daniel’s game. But when he struggled at a crucial point of the competition, it was Brian who earned the Safety Pass.
