Help me out here who is Paul Hamm I have no clue and why people are up in arms about his run. I'm officially old when people don't know who Paul Hamm is.. As a Gymnastics and Olympic nut it's inconceivable that people wouldn't know an Olympic Champ. I'm going to cry in a corner now.. To be quite honest I have not watch the olympics or followed any of it really since like 1996. I mean the only reason I know the name who Michaels Phelps is they have plaster his face on TV for like 12 years now and had tons of articles about him. I talk about being old I still remember when Marry Lou stuck her landing for the gold

I talk about being old I still remember when Marry Lou stuck her landing for the gold I think because the combination of him being Olympic Champion and also being a Sasuke veteran it was something of note. Also coupled with the fact that many here mentioned how much they went back to show his Sasuke footage on NBC again only to cut him. There was even discussion with screenshots on this very thread. I think that's really what surprised me.

I'm curious if there's a separate team that edits the episode and creates the preview. I know they have new people making the episodes, so maybe they screwed up in that way.

Either that or NBC is being the ultimate troll like they always are and saying something like "nope no SASUKE Stuff for you haha"

That was when they were doing the one testing session, they also had some mascot guy playing around on the obstacles and they had the hosts running on the WW but none of them made it up lol

One of my favorite parts of last night's episode was how they actually called Geoff "The First American Ninja Warrior" more than once. Gave me warm fuzzies in my heart.

I'm sad they didn't show Geoff's wife, not even in a preview. They focused so much on women this episode, so that doesn't make sense.
Also, I like how caught off-guard Kristine was when he said he was less pressured to do well. Haha you rock Geoff!

I think watching the Giant run is the most exciting thing. Too bad they didn't upload that. I'd love to see him take on Vegas Stage 1.

Off the top of my head, she wasn't mentioned in Pittsburgh last year nor was she mentioned in a few of the city finals

Can't believe they cut Paul Hamm, and was stunned that they digested Jamie Rahn.

Watching The Giant / Jon Alexis Jr. on the course was funny with how small everything looked, and the steps were like nothing to him. It all reminds me of Paul Anthony Terek in Sasuke. Would like to see him try ANW.

Is that a record? ill let thatoneuser be the official word on that, but it's actually amazing that they did not even one time try to promote her as the savior of ANW Maybe they are waking up to the fact her run in Dallas two years ago was a fluke and that at 5' & 98lbs it is hard to um complete a course. I have nothing against her she had a great run in Dallas and I Like Kacey but the fact of the matter is she is 5' tall and the obstacles are built for bigger people because americans are taller in general espically the men so short people have a disadvantage on certian obstacle in ANW. Their are some exception like ones that have long wing spawns for their size etc. That is why I think Jessie is the best of the women she is a beast and on top of that she has height and wingspan to go with that skill set. Megan has the upper body stregth but she is slow and lacks the height and her wingspan is not as long. I hoping some of these new women can up their game next year from this Philly Region. 4 in the top 30 is impressive and shows you they have legit skill because that was a tough course; question is can they take that and build on it next year.
