Military Qualifier July 7 |
|
For the past month or so,
we've been emphasizing the "Ninja" in "Ninja Warrior".
After all, this is based on a Japanese competition.
Tonight, we're going to emphasize the "Warrior" of
"Ninja Warrior", as we salute the men and women, active
and retired, of the United States military by letting
them run the course in the shadow of one of the
mightiest warships ever assembled. SAN PEDRO, CA USS Iowa Awaiting our warriors tonight are six obstacles, two of which are being christened tonight. - Quintuple Steps - Jump Hang - Log Runner: speed across four free-spinning logs. - Monkey Pegs - I-Beam Cross: use your legs and grip to move across the narrow lip. - Warped Wall. 14 feet, three tries. This is a win-and-in situation. Anyone who completes the Qualifier is guaranteed a spot in the City Final. If we don't have 30 finishers, the rest of the board will be occupied by those who traveled the furthest the fastest. - Kyle Durand (43; Navy; technology entrepreneur): FAIL I-Beam Cross - Amanda Graham (22; Navy; junior officer): FAIL Monkey Peg - Kenneth Knoop (28; Army; railroad engineer): twin brother Keith will run the course later. FAIL Jump Hang - Keith Knoop (28; Army; police officer): doctors told him he would never walk again. See Kenneth. FAIL Jump Hang Mike Young, Felicia Flake, and Dean Mosier all come up a bit short. - Deon Graham (29; Navy; surface warfare officer): FAIL I-Beam Cross Then came Sara Valdez (Jump Hang), Styves Exantus (Log Runner), and Jason Cantu (I-Beam Cross) can't figure out this course. - Dustin McKinney (28; Navy; lieutenant): last year, he fell on a spider obstacle. This year... makes the course his ... yeah. COMPLETE! (5:11.97) Reporting for duty next: Amy Proctor, Joshua Stone, and Chris Moore...and all were dismissed. - Kristin Bagby (32;
Coast Guard; Dept. of Homeland Security): a breast
cancer survivor. FAIL Log Runner Three more came. Daniel
Glenn... Paul Metzler... and Natalie Schibell...all
went. Scott "Red Dog" Redding
was neutered by the Jump Hang. Kristin Dalton got run
over by the Log Runner. Matthew Jensen beat the Wall. - Robin Pietschmann (25; Coast Guard; rescue swimmer). COMPLETE! (3:05.51). The run of the night. And now, the main event.
