...To Yamada (Didn't want to make the topic title a spoiler).
What exactly happened to him anyways? Well first he started with so much tape around his ankles, then he dismounted the Jumping Spider and fell over, then he was limping, Even if I don't like him doesn't mean I want him injured like that (Although that balance tank nut hit and the times he fell off the course were funny, because those weren't anything serious)

I have no idea, he may have been injured before hand, but after falling from the jumping spider, that's where it must've started hurting.
I giv ehim made props for clearing the half pipe attack while injured, that's insane.

Yeah, even if I don't like him, That takes some guts to do that and not give up, Thats the second most impressive injured run I've seen, Nakata Daisuke in Stage 2 was the most impressive thing I've seen in a long time, His wrists were injured to start, he makes it past stage 1, clears the Downhill Jump and hurting his wrist in his landing and STILL trying to do the Salmon Ladder with the newly weightier bar, that takes some balls.

Ehem...yeah.
After his run, Yamada mentioned that he was definitely not 100%, and would like to try again when he is, and now that he knows he can at least get to the Warped Wall while injured, he has even more motivation.

He seemed to be limping from the very start...

I think he hurt himself when he hit the walls of the Jumping Spider since he took a long pause in between and the dismount added to the pain.

That's what I thought too. Poor guy - you have to give him props for trying to continue. Facing his old friend, the Warped Wall, about killed him. Hopefully he's 100% for next time.
On another note, what happened to Shiratori? He looked even more shaken on the Downhill Jump than Nagano did last time, and he fell before he got to the rope! I seriously could not believe that happened.

Shiratori is still nursing a very very bad back.. he only started running again in May (back in March remember Sasuke 20 previews in Sasuke Maniac where they showed him sitting and lamenting he won't be there? No? Meh.. I have the video.. he was)..
Yamada.. oy.. I'll stay out of this one.. a good portion of his histrionics off the course was cut.. trust me.. it was ugly.. Do I think he was hurt? Yes.. but not to that extent.. he was just fine before.. and after his run when running around the sidelines with the rest of the Allstars..

Well you can bet he would be pretty beat after 5 obstacles and being in his 40s. I don't see why he couldn't skip out on 22, 21 was the tournament that finally convinced me that his age is really catching up. Problem is his legs are so stiff on the course, he simply can't run, was it his supposed injury?

Yamada? I think. THINK it was his ankle.. but then he wrapped his leg. around his butt.. oh I don't know.. something with his left leg.. I wonder if Sasuke Maniac will redo his run and show what happened afterwards..

No? Meh.. I have the video.. he was).. Yeah, I knew his back was hurt, but I didn't figure it'd affect him on the Downhill Jump....but that's what I get for thinking. And I never got to see the Sasuke Maniac of Sasuke 20 - I've only seen the G4 version. 21 is the first time I get to see something by TBS. But back to injuries though, it doesn't help that both Yamada and Shiratori are in their 40's, so healing time could be a little longer than hoped for. Still, hopefully they'll be fine next time they return.
