I love this show. Used to watch the Japan version all the time.
When are the Vegas finals? I have 3 more Vegas trips planned this year.

Something came across my screen about the first female to qualify, and I went to the link. Goodbye, 8 hours chasing down old episodes. Pretty interesting show; certainly better than "American Gladiators". I never had the upper arm strength to get through a course like that; I have to admire the skills.

Kacy Catanzaro was the first woman (there have been two others) to make it up the warped wall. She made it to the Vegas finals but fell on the jumping spider. At only about 5 ft tall the jumping spider is very hard to get through.

Meagan Martin is the fist woman to complete the Jumping Spider in the finals!!

Upper body strength and low body weight,
combined with athletic ability, that's all
it takes.

This little girl is incredible. 4000 comments on this
video, she's a joy to watch.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I enjoyed that show, because at the time, there was nothing else like it (that I knew of).
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

May I add to that? It also takes overcoming your nerves and digging deep to give it your all while not making mistakes.

I felt bad for Sam Sann--falling on the second obstacle, the Giant Ring. It really doesn't look that hard, especially for a guy in as good a shape as Sam.

(Did any of you catch the Streaker that found his way onto the course? He actually completed the jumping spider.)
