Krasstrid doesn’t come to the buzzer

Astrid “Krasstrid” Sibon will be there again this year. The Last Woman Standing from the first Allstars season starts solidly and masters the distances between the climbing boxes with ease. During the crossing, she tries to grab the moving pole, but like everyone else before, she has to make the long jump. She leaves the dominoes behind and enters the V formation. Will she be the first to buzz? No! The second V is the end for them too and the cooling comes much too early. But she takes first place in the women’s ranking.

20:48

Off at the crossing

Jan Bietendorf is the next starter on the course. He masters the arrow jump well and he also gets through the climbing boxes with only a little wobble. The trip goes over the triple jump and that means his end. He slips off the last pole and falls into the water.

20:43

V-formation as the sticking point

Fabian Ströbele is on the move quickly. During the Pendestamm, he experiences a brief moment of shock when he slips off the mat and almost falls into the pool. But he can roll again and continue. He stays focused and quickly moves towards the V formation. You can see that he has already lost a lot of grain, but he is still only at the end of the third V.

20:40

The first youngster lets it rip

Antosha Faber starts at high speed and literally flies over the arrow jump. But then he masters the climbing boxes again with full concentration and takes his time, and the 18-year-old doesn’t let himself be disturbed at the triple jump and the crossing. The dominoes and the swing arm follow routinely. But then he too has to bite at the V-formation! He has to blow through on the ascent, but saves the first difficult situation. Unfortunately, when you go down, it ends just before the mat! When jumping onto the fourth “V” he slips. Still, a really strong performance that gives him hope for the semi-finals.

20:36

New leader

Chiara Gremes was already in season five of the regular show and in the second Allstars season at the start. With experience, she tackles the crossing quickly and is actually at the third pole in time to accept the moving pole. At that moment she can’t change her grip and she has to start swinging. But the 32-year-old continues with momentum and is the first person to make it to the V-formation. The way up backwards still looks good, but then you lose your strength. The performance could be enough for the semi-finals, but there are still many strong women to come.

20:32

Günter Portale brings Buschi completely over the edge

20:31

Not tired even at 72!

Despite his 72 years, Günter Portale is not tired and wants to do it again this year! He sprints over the arrow jump to the climbing boxes and with full concentration he also gets the second obstacle behind him. After the triple jump, it’s time for the crossing. His face reveals that he is slowly getting out of breath. Can he manage the long distance to the fourth pole? Unfortunately not! Günter slips and the ninja journey ends at the fourth obstacle. Still great work!

20:26

misstep into the water

David Truong is the first man of the evening. The 31-year-old is a full-time police officer and part-time dance teacher. He prances over the arrow jump and there is no deduction for David in the climbing boxes either. He masters the crossing and the balance obstacle doesn’t bother him either. After the pendulum trunk, he briefly loses his bearings, misses the platform and slides over the mats into the water. This careless mistake prevents a better result.

20:20

Maya Röser opens the show

The evening will be opened by Maya Röser. How far can they go on the course? She still masters the arrow jump without great difficulty and now the 18-year-old is going to the climbing boxes. An obstacle that she easily masters at her premiere. The trip goes over the triple jump. The sledge drives her away and it goes over the difficult variant. After the dominoes, the swing arm is waiting, which unfortunately means the end. She slips down the rope into the water!

20:05

Today’s course

A varied and challenging course awaits the ninjas today. This time it starts with the arrow jump, which leads to a new obstacle, the climbing boxes. It continues with the triple jump to the crossing, which is replaced by the dominoes and the swing arm. The V-formation follows as the penultimate obstacle. All athletes who are still dry now have the choice between the wall or the mega wall. Once at the top, the buzzer awaits as the final reward.

19:47

Warm welcome!

Good evening and welcome! The fourth preliminary round is about to start. As in the first three preliminary rounds, the ninjas in this season have to complete the duel course in addition to new obstacles. However, only the four best athletes of the evening enter the duels. The winner of the final duel also books a direct ticket to the final. Before that, the regular course consists of a total of six obstacles designed for grip strength, endurance and balance. The 16 best ninjas advance to the semi-finals. In addition, the three best women of the evening advance if they are not already among the top 16.
