Australian Ninja Warrior is back with a bang – all new, with huge cash incentives, tougher obstacles and fresh faces.
Two hundred inspired, everyday athletes have been training in preparation to take on the world’s toughest and most renowned obstacle course. Mums and dads, tradies and farmers, students and business owners of all shapes, sizes and ages from across Australia will line up to see if they have what it takes to win.
But with transformed obstacles that have been altered to challenge the competitors in new and unexpected ways, they are on an even playing field with the new generation facing the course in their work boots and tool belts.
Aside from pure grit and determination, there is an added motivation for the Ninjas this time around: this year there will be a winner.
The competitor who goes furthest on the course in the fastest time will be the Season 3 winner and will take home $100,000. And further upping the ante, a competitor who makes it up Mt Midoriyama wins an extra $200,000 and the title of Australia’s first Ninja Warrior.
The course boasts many exciting new elements this season, and one is the Mega Warped Wall. At 5.25 metres it is one metre taller than the existing Warped Wall, and any Ninja who conquers it pockets $5,000 cash instantly.
Friend of the Show, host Rebecca Maddern checked into the Departure Lounge with Stampsy and Andy (in for Josh) to chat about the popularity of the show, and her own lil ninja, baby Ruby.
