Ahh, no Levi? Too bad. Hope his wrist is better now. I didn't watch ANW, so I'm a little confused. Was Levi eliminated in the boot camp, or did he make it but had to drop out because of hurting his wrist? Actually, a better question might be...after having competed 5 times, and having done pretty well, WHY does Levi still have to qualify?! I think he should automatically be invited back.
Off topic: In the picture, from that distance, the guy between David and Brian kind of looks like one the instructors at my martial arts class.

Forgive me if I sound snippy.. Just trying to nip things in the bud.. because I expect Wednesday plus to make this board explode.. always does at the end of events, etc. But if you haven't watched Boot there is a whole thread on it. This is not the thread for that.

Maybe it would be easier for us to determine which 3 of the remaining 13 guys were NOT there. We can definitely rule out a few from that (unfortunately small ) picture, but a few are too tough to tell for sure. Regardless though great find arsenette. Thanks for sharing. BTW, is anybody able to translate that article yet? There's might be some useful info in there.

Unfortunate if Levi could not compete =/ but interested in seeing some different americans try it this time besides Brian and of course seeing Campbell and Brett (simms)? having another go!

I guess Levi went for moral support then! IMO most likely they sent Levi with an alternate if he couldn't perform and once he got there he realized he couldn't? I'm sure some explanation would come out as to why there were 11 going to Japan Either way. I'm happy Levi didn't participate if he was badly hurt. I remember reaming Brett for going and lying he was hurt until he got there. So kudos for Levi bowing out and giving whoever was his alternate a shot... unless Levi WAS the alternate.. LMFAO

Brett Sims went out on the Bridge of Blades in the qualifier round... I think the "Brett" they mean is just not completely remembering "Brent Steffensen"'s name

Thanks Robby for the list. Anytime. Anything that has to do with ANW, I follow. Anything to help the board get correct information. =D

The Japanese comedian who competes in a thong is back (next to Dancho in the lineup pic) That's Yoshio Kojima. I have him listed already.

I'm not that surprised that Thomas Hall wasn't there (no offense at all to him, he seems like a nice guy and a pretty good athlete but he was probably the weakest of the final 15 guys and it wasn't for him on making it to 26). It's pretty shocking though that Levi apparently didn't compete due to his wrist injury, but at least we're given a reason for him not competing this time around (unlike Rich, which makes me wonder if he and another one of the very strong competitors had to face off in the elimination round). Despite these disappointments though, I'm really glad to see a good variety of guys made it. 6 newcomers and 4 returnees, all with great potential to do very well on the course, should make their part of Sasuke 26 very interesting. Point blank, I can't wait to learn the specifics about the 10 that are going during the remaining episodes of boot camp on Wednesday! Sucks though that I'm gonna have to force myself from watching on Thursday. I am NOT spoiling the results for myself again!

That's exactly what they'll do. They still do that "No American has ever been to Stage 4" mess from time to time. I guess this guy still doesn't count. Okay guys lets not say G4 doesnt know there facts. They mean white people. No white guy or girl has gotten to stage 4. Thats what they really mean. And thats what theyre saying without being racist.

Still would be wrong that a white guy hasn't made it to the final stage... Same tournament Sasuke 8... Jordan Jotchev (Did I spell that right?), Granted he's Bulgarian and not American (Although didn't he live in America for a time?) but still...

So why allow other races to try out for ANC/ANW with that logic? You can't not sound racist saying that.

Oh man, what a shame about Levi! That X-ray looked painful to say the least. I really hope we see him again down the road! (Future SASUKEs, ANWs, etc.)

Damn, I REALLY wanted to see Levi compete. I wonder if his wrist will affect him in future competitions, like Daisuke Nakata and his VERY unfortunately wrist injury.
