Tim Champion wasn't on the team. The rest is correct, there is one more guy who I don't recognise.

Eh, Team Europe is pretty cool IMO. I'm honestly just raring to see how Owen deals with a taste of the Vegas course. He'd better be able to back up his words, even though it's a shame there's no Japanese there to prove him wrong. Mars and Shieff are awesome, but still wish Mccoll (Sorry - I know he's great) would be replaced with an actual frenchman, and Ghisolfi with a proper Italian. Next year I guess, considering both countries now have their own ninja warriors.

Teige is right, the last guy isn't Champion--it's Andre Sihm. He was last man standing in Sweden this year. So there's two Swedish reps--Mars and Sihm. Check it out:

The guy on the far-right for Team Latin America is named Danee Marmolejo. Really talented freerunner from Mexico

Yeah, here's team Latin America (I think everyone is a freerunner on their team) Danee Marmolejo (Mexico) Karl Fow (Venezuela) Wid Eriksen (Mexico, seems to have connections to UK/Europe)
Paulo Victor PV (reserve for Latin America)
Missing two names.
Brazil and Argentina also representing.

I didn't even realise Latin America was still a politically correct term to be honest. Haven't heard it used in real life context for years.

It may just be another difference between UK and US culture but it's always been South and Central America to me.

Team Latin America is just such a stupid idea....... Well it is AMERICAN Ninja Warrior, after all LOL But seriously what's the point of inviting them if they have NO domestic adaptions of the show AT ALL!? Why not a team Vietnam or team UK instead???

They probably are telegraphing to the countries they are negotiating contracts with that they should sign on the dotted line. LOL Nothing like having control over who you send to a big event like that. It's marketing. Edit: Vietnam is a Sasuke spin off and UK was already there and no need to expand.

If the UK votes to "Brexit" today, does that mean Tim can't captain Team Europe anymore? I mean, they use the EU flag and everything..
