In 2014, Catanzaro became the first woman to complete the qualifying course of American Ninja Warrior (season 6), making it up the warped wall on her second try at 5:26.18 at the Dallas qualifiers, ranking her 21 out of 30; this also makes her the first woman to make it up the warped wall in competition.
Do American Ninja Warrior contestants get to practice on the course? No, they do not. But they do get a demonstration. “They don't even see the obstacles until they walk out there, so it's stunning to see how successful they are, all things considered,” Storm told me.

According to a five-time American Ninja Warrior contestant's reddit AMA, "everything is out of pocket for your travel to the location and hotel and food." Way harsh, Tai! However, there is an exception — and it turns out Geoff didn't have to pay to lose in the very last moment, because he made it to the final.
To date, only Geoff Britten, Isaac Caldiero, and Drew Drechsel have conquered Mount Midoriyama and achieved Total Victory. Caldiero and Drechsel are the only competitors to win the cash prize of $1,000,000.
We think this was a simplification of what happened. Our sources told us that, for season 13, a select group of teens was invited by the producers to take part in the regular competition. It wasn't an open call for teens to apply similar to the open call for any adults to apply.

Jeff Harris is known as the “Waste Warrior” due to his commitment to recycling. He managed to complete the Qualifying course and, in the City Finals, decided to take a fancy approach to the Diving Boards.

It only took Daniel less than 30 seconds to get to the fifth obstacle, and under a minute to get to the Warped Wall. In not even two minutes, he was on the the Crazy Clocks and then handled Snap Back perfectly. Daniel was left with over a minute to finish the Spider Trap to take the top time. Which, of course, he did.
Ben Wales, another walk-on, made it to the ninth obstacle and went out on Snap Back. Seven-time veteran Karsten Williams got the Mega Wall in the Qualifying round and came back with high expectations. He has a history of getting hung up on the ninth obstacle, and hadn’t completed a City Finals course in five years.
This was Karen Wiltin’s second trip to the City Finals in as many years. In season 10, she fell on the first obstacle in the Dallas City Finals and she did NOT want a repeat of that. We held our breath as she took extra swings on the Shrinking Steps, finally getting the dismount.
Maggi’s struggle against the odds to get as far as possible on the course. It was a little heart-breaking to see that, after everything, she didn’t make it into the top two for women. But she proved what’s capable when you dig deep.
