The seventh season of Ninja Warrior Germany is in full swing. Who was able to secure the next tickets for the semifinals? sport.de looks back on the fourth preliminary round show.
More than 300 participants compete in the seventh season at Ninja Warrior Germany. The age limit was adjusted this year. In this edition, the ninjas can already compete at the age of 16 (previously 18). In each of the five preliminary round shows, 16 candidates certainly qualify for the semi-finals. In addition, three women advance if there are no women among the top 16.
At the end of each episode, the four fastest ninjas compete in a duel course for 5,000 euros in bonus money. In the last encounter, the direct final ticket beckons.
Who was able to qualify for the semi-finals in the fourth show? Who surprised and how did the encounters in the duel course go?
The encounters in the duel course
The newbies stir up Ninja Warrior Germany. The most recent example of this was provided by John Wurth. The debutant crowned his strong debut in the show with the day’s win.
Wurth prevailed in the duel course first against Benjamin Schmidt-Markurt and then against Artur Schreiber. In the final duel of the day, the newbie and the writer were tied for a long time. Ultimately, however, Wurth was able to pull away decisively on the springs and thus already secured his final ticket.
In his first duel, Schreiber had prevailed against Dominique Karlin, who had set the best time of the day with a time of 2:02.13 minutes.
“Krasstrid” on, Ninja Doc out
Astrid Sibon is one of the best-known participants at Ninja Warrior Germany. In 2021, “Krasstrid” was crowned the “Last Woman Standing” of the Allstars edition. The Dutchwoman wants to attack again this season. At the start, Sibon made it to the V formation.
The 29-year-old ended up in 19th place overall and qualified alongside Jolina Thormann (20th) and Alina Tornau (27th) as the best woman for the next round.
With Uwe Weitzer, on the other hand, a well-known face from the show missed the leap into the semi-finals. For the Ninja Doc, the swing arm was the end of the line. This made Weitzer 33rd in the final standings.
The obstacles in the course
In the fourth show, the ninjas had to use the arrow jump to get to the climbing boxes. Then it went from the triple jump with crossing to the floating wedges with swing arm. If you were able to get past the V formation, you finally had the choice between the wall and the mega wall.
In the duel course, the jumping kicks were followed by the hand-held Mikado. After that, the ninjas could face the clackers and the springs. Finally, the last reserves of strength had to be mobilized at the fireplace.
Who is in the semifinals?
In addition to John Wurth, who has already secured his final ticket, Dominique Karlin, Benjamin Schmidt-Markut, Artur Schreiber, Alex Grundwald, Leonardo Calderón and Malte Komm all made it into the semifinals as finishers.
In addition, Nico Scheicher, Miro Rehder, Sebastian Lucke, Andreas Schlegl, Fabian Ströbele, Philipp Göthert, Chris Harmat, Simon Knitter, Nils Wächter, Astrid Sibon, Jolina Thormann and Alina Tornau qualified for the next round.
