Miami Qualifier 2
July 15

So far, 60 champions have made their way to the city finals. With two more cities to visit before those finals, it's time to see the talent in Miami. Will we bring the Heat or flounder like a marlin?

Last night on G4, eight such athletes finished said course.

MIAMI
Bayfront Park

This course features a number of new obstacles.... FOUR have not been seen on American Ninja Warrior.

- QUINTUPLE STEPS: five steps, seven feet between each one.
- UTILITY POLE SLIDER: cling to a utility pole and hold on for the ride.
- BALANCE BRIDGE: two bridges and one gap.
- SLIDER JUMP: hang from a pipe and slide to propel to the cargo net and maneuver to the landing.
- MONKEY PEG: climb up the monkey bars, and then use pegs to cross the rest of the way.
- WARPED WALL: Fourteen feet, three tries.

As a reminder, anyone who finishes the qualifier moves on to the regional final and move one step closer to the American Sasuke course in Las Vegas. If we have less than 30 complete, the remaining spots go to the fastest and the furthest.

First up...
