so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
the most memorable skilled or
entertaining competitors to participate
in the American version of the Japanese
series sasuke number 10
Kacy Catanzaro let’s get this list
started off right with a true
trailblazer Kacy Catanzaro is one of the
sport’s top female athletes and arguably
its most famous mighty Kacy became the
first woman to complete a city
qualifying course in 2014 by making it
up the monstrous 14-foot warped wall
[Applause]
which is nearly three times her height
her record-breaking didn’t stop there
however as she soon after became the
first and for a long time the only woman
to complete a City finals course
although she struggled on the first
stage of the gruelling Vegas finals
course it’s hard to overstate the impact
that Catanzaro has had on the sport and
its fans number 9 Joe Moravsky
[Applause]
this coach and meteorologist has had a
meteoric rise in the ninja world Joe
Moravsky is among the speediest
competitors out there and his runs are
often models of efficiency the
weatherman also has an impressively
consistent track record making it to the
third stage of mount midoriyama as the
Vegas finals are known three out of four
times he’s competed it’s that
reliability that probably earned him a
spot on Team USA in the USA versus the
world competition more than once but you
know it’s all about being a part of Team
USA and trying to beat the other teams
friendly competition Moravsky is
unquestionably one of the fan favorites
of the series number eight David
Campbell
David Campbell is one of only a handful
of contestants to have competed in every
season of the show he was also one of
the first to create his own backyard
course making it a mecca of sorts for
prospective ninjas and veterans alike
while Campbell has made it as far as
stage three in the finals in Japan and
won at all competing in Vietnam he’s had
difficulty completing the first stage in
the Vegas finals if this is getting to
him mentally a shock to be even more
surprised even so Campbell’s veteran
status and role as a mentor to many
rookie ninjas has earned him the
nickname the Godfather and we couldn’t
refuse him a place on our list number
seven Jessie Graff she spent so much
time working in this upper-body strength
[Applause]
professor Starkman Kacy Catanzaro may
have broken ground but Jessie Graff
shattered it the stuntwoman also known
as tumbleweed is a true superhero of the
sport and not just because of her
outfits while she is part of the elite
group of women who have made it up the
Warped wall
Graff was also the first one to a
finished stage one of the Vegas finals
[Applause]
not only that she also became the only
woman to complete stage two while
competing on Team USA in the 2017 USA
versus the world competition Graff isn’t
just one of the elite female competitors
in American ninja warriors she is one of
its elite competitors period number six
Brent Steffensen this is one ninja who
knows how to hang loose while he may be
fond of flashing the Shaka sign Brent
Steffensen is a serious competitor and a
veteran of American Ninja Warrior with a
few exceptions Steffensen has regularly
made it to midoriyama often to the
second and third stages he even became
the first American to clear the
challenging ultimate cliffhanger
obstacle on stage three on the personal
side the former stuntman now manages a
gym alpha warrior proving grounds with
his ex-girlfriend and current business
partner Kacy Catanzaro number five James
McGrath just beast it James McGrath is a
powerful veteran ninja athlete and
trainer whose dogged forceful approach
to the course has earned him the
nickname the Beast McGrath has made it
to the finals numerous times though he’s
gone as far as stage three in the past
he has repeatedly had difficulties
getting through the first stage
primarily due to the tricky jumping
spider obstacle all the same there is no
question of the beast skill and fans
love to see him attack the course a year
after year number 4 David flip Rodriguez
one of the great things about Ninja
Warrior is seeing the competitors grow
and improve over time and flip
Rodriguez’s transformation has been
particularly notable famous for the
black and white masks he once wore
Rodriguez eventually stopped wearing
them ultimately opening up about the
abuse he suffered when he was younger
yeah I was I was physically abused
when I was a by my own that along with
his appearance rodriguez has also
changed his approach to the course
formerly noted for his blistering speed
he began to take a more methodical
approach after a costly mistake saw him
disqualified flip is a stronger ninja
for it though and it’s helped make him
one of the best and most memorable in
the sport number three isaac caldiero in
terms of pure accomplishment few
American ninjas can claim to have gone
as far as this man isaac caldiero is the
first winner of American Ninja Warrior
having conquered all four stages in
Vegas and beating out his competition a
nomadic Pro rock climber and former
member of the ninja training group wolf
pack called Hierro is now retired from
the sport after only three years but
with all that prize money he can afford
to why then if called Hierro was so
accomplished is he not number one well
we felt that the next two entries stood
out a little bit more
[Applause]
number two drew drechsel nicknamed the
real-life ninja drew drechsel is a
favorite among the fans and the
community as he’s roommates with James
McGrath and has a friendly rivalry with
flip Rodriguez his nickname isn’t for
show though as thresholds among the most
capable ninjas out there possessing all
the speed strength and adaptability
needed to be the best of the best
thresholds track record is excellent
having made it to the second and third
stages in the finals multiple times in
various countries and even captaining
Team USA to victory in 2017 with his
star on the rise Dressel is predicted by
many to be the next winner before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions
[Applause]
Wiki well I think a lot of people are
pulling for him it only just to see
again the look of joy and his wife’s
face number one Geoff Britten this
sports cameraman may not have been the
first winner of American Ninja Warrior
since isaac caldiero be dastan but he
was the first American to conquer all
four stages nicknamed Popeye for his
incredible forearms and upper-body
strength
like he can do the Salmon Ladder
one-handed Britten holds multiple
impressive records for example at 36
years of age he was the oldest
competitor to achieve cons and chi-ha
and is the first American to achieve a
coveted perfect season
[Applause]
although Britain may be in
semi-retirement now to be with his
family he is first on our list and
technically the first American Ninja
Warrior
