Although I am not a Swedish speaker so while the broadcast says that this is the first stage the course that has been shown so far is more accurately described as a qualifying course and not as people here would think as the first stage. This is based on the previews and pictures of the courses showing after this and the extending semi-final course the top finishers move on to the finals which is divided into stages and then a winner will be crowned at the top of the tower. Yes, they call it the "qualifying round", then there's the "semi-final" and the "final round" which as far as I've hard is three different things. I just think it's overly-confusing given that I'm not even sure what they call the tower after they've already had a final round, you know? Stage 1, 2, 3 and final is just a much easier concept to understand. But, then agann, we've never seen American Ninja Warrior which Ninja Warrior SE seems to be based on, so maybe it isn't as confusing as we think.

It's great that your doing recaps on ninja warrior Sweden for those intreseted. The Swedish contestants did much better than I thought they would for their first competion. As for the difficulty of the stage 1 course it's relatively easier even compared to the qualifying courses of the first 3 seasons of ANW which the formate of the show is based on but stage 2 has the salmon ladder and arm rings which probably will gave those who went to stage 2 a real challenge.

Hehe, yeah, I've been watching it going "lol, I could EASILY pass first stage if this is what it is", but even as an over-confident TV-watcher I gotta admit the Salmon Ladder is gonna take people down (and I'm assuming myself, should I ever get to try). It'll be fun to see, I'm sure!

How many people have cleared stage 1? And how many are moving to stage 2? I can finally answer this! According to the announcers, 66 people (!?) cleared stage 1 and they are all moving on to stage 2. From there on, 25 people move on to stage 3, in what we think is a very complicated system. Also, they are airing two eps of Ninja Warrior SE this week, which we had completely missed until today. So a recap of ep 5, aired yesterday, is now up at sasukehipsters.blogspot.se/2015/02/ninja-warrior-se-episode-5-recap.htmlEp 6 recap will be posted tomorrow!

Ninja warrior Sweden while its formate is based on ANW has created different rules for its show like the idea of separate heats for people running on the same course is different then what is done in ANW. How do they decide which people go into what heat? Fastest and slowest in the same heat?

How do they decide which people go into what heat? Fastest and slowest in the same heat? I have no idea how they decide on it. The guy with the fastest time on Stage 1 - Henning Attlin, finishing it in 57 seconds - competed in the same heat as Jenny Adolfsson who had a time of over 3 minutes. Though I don't know if she was the slowest. Anyway, they havent explained it so I'm just assuming they're putting them in the order that makes for the best drama, probably switching it around a lot. Which I suppose sucks for those who might make it based on their time finishing the Salmon Ladder rather than finishing. ANyway, here's our recap of ep 6, which is funnier than the one from last night when were mostly complaining. sasukehipsters.blogspot.se/2015/02/ninja-warrior-se-episode-6-recap.html

Yeah weird there should be two more heats to fill in the last 10 spaces. But since the show is based on ANW the might have a wild card system that will fill in the remaining places. And if your worried that no women move on to the final after the first three of four women failed early in the semifinals don't be the trailers and advertising showed an unknown women in the finals doing the jump hang and the samon ladder and celebrating something most likely clearing the first stage of the final. The trailers also showed other contesntents clearing a stage others failing obstacles and sombody at the final stage tower. Since the trailers I saw were on their YouTube channel they may have shown less sploier trailers for the show on Swedish T.V.

Since the trailers I saw were on their YouTube channel they may have shown less sploier trailers for the show on Swedish T.V. The last five places will go to those who had the best time while making the transition from Salmon Ladder to Arm Rings. For some reason we haven't seen those who most likely will fill those places as a graphic at the end of the semis, it would've been nice. I actually haven't seen the ads, because I rarely watch TV (hello, I have Netflix!) and I always end up catching up on the eps on Kanal5s webb-TV rather than catching them as they air, but that's cool if we see the last woman in the finals! However, Jump Hang and Salmon Ladder are stage two/semi obstacles and I don't think either of them is in stage three/final, so sadly we can't be sure she'll make it. A lot of good competitors have failed the arms rings. But I'm still rooting for her of course!

Nope the trailers she was in was at night and and the semis take place as shown was during the day she made it somehow. Strange as she wasn't even the fastest women. Also the first stage in the final is the same course as the semifinals with some modifications.

I mean, we've already seen a lot of obstacles for stage three that are complately new, so doing the first/second stage again ... how long is that thing gonna be? They are making everything overly complicated.

I rewached the trailers and they have someone failing the arm rings during the night and and from what I read their is no arm ring obstacle in the final so mabey the last competitors will do the runs at night?
Also it appears from pictures and trailers that the first stage of the finals is a repeat of the course we've seen already but instead of arm rings after the ladder their will the unstable bridge and after that a victory lap up the spider climbing. This will also be untimed. Then the seconde stage has time limit of 60 seconds ending in the wall lifting I guess and the third stage looks like it has the floating boards and a version of the cliffhanger I haven't seen before. If you go to their YouTube channel you will see competitors doing the obstacles also there is a post on this thread that links to a website were you can see pictures of the obstacles if don't feel like waiting weeks to see what they look like.

I went to watch those trailers, and you're right, she is definitely doing the Salmon Ladder at night. And during the summer when this was aired it takes quite a few hours for it to get that dark, so I don't know how everyone but the last competitors could do the semis during day time. Maybe they took a break? I suppose we'll see.
Oh, yeah, I had a look at the facebook page. There seems to be a lot of transitions between obstacles involving ropes, which could make it really hard for the competitors. I'm pretty sure the people who have never seen Sasuke will be blown away by the third stage/the final, because they're upping the game quite a lot there it appears. Finally!

Yes the trailers really gave a lot away if your good with faces you can tell who got to the finals. Like that guy on the floating boards who you got a clear shot of he is literally about one or two obstacles away from beating all of stage 3 and going to the tower.

Well done to those 25 who made it to those who made it to the finals! Mabey who ever wins and judging by the trailers someone did. Mabey they could do well in Sasuke if they get invited or compete in as member of team Europe in the ANW special.
