If I remember correctly, friends at the filming said Luis made it to the 4th obstacle.

I am upset that Luis Moco got cut (I am not sure if Chris Wilczewski competed) They cut Dan Galiczynski, Tyler Cravens, and Meiling Huang They digest Jamie Rahn, Anthony DeFranco, Rachel Goldstein, Michael Torres, and Mike Meyers Let's see what i can remember. Luis Moco went out on the rings. Amusing story, apparently the guy who used to live in his van, got an apartment. Drew and James were living in his apartment when the odd couple video was shot. Rachel Goldstein, and several other smaller competitors, had a difficult time getting the rolling log rolling. It probably took Rachael a good 30 seconds of failed attempts to get it going. In addition to Poconos Ninjas shoe, the rolling log claimed many other shoes during the qualifying night. It also dislodged one of Rachel's contacts enough that she had to take it out and reset it before stating the rings. On the big screen behind the rings you could actually see the contact lens on her finger. The rolling log cost her a trip to the city finals. The first ring in the ring jump cracked and had to be replaced during a run. The ninja, don't know his name, was entertaining while he waited on the course for the techs to replace the ring. It took about 5 minutes. I believe he failed on the rings. During lunch around 1:30, I got to listen in while early morning ninjas got instructions. When landing after the floating steps, the center platform is the only legal place to land. Which should have DQ'd a ninja in the KC broadcast. On the ring jump the ninjas had to have both hands on the second ring before they could proceed down towards the I-Beam Gap. The ninjas were encouraged to stand on the ledges at the vertical part and shake out their arms. Finisher Tyler Cravens, a walk on, was the second run of the night. There wasn't another finisher until near lunch when the power couples ran. At least one other ninja, probably Dan Galiczynski, used the step technique the beast used on I-Beam Gap. There were 8-10 ninjas from Michelle's gym running in the qualifiers. The only injury of the night I remember was a female ninja who dislocated her shoulder on the third floating step. She was on the step for several minutes while the medical crew tried to gently get her down. A majority of the runs shown were from after the lunch break.

Stop f***ing digesting top veterans like Ryan Stratis and Jamie Rahn, and even the FASTEST FINISHER OF THE NIGHT, for stupid sob stories that don't even make it past the second or third obstacles!

As has been said in nearly every city qualifying thread this year. These are the qualifiers with over 100 runners for each episode. The producers know the fans of the OGs will be watching the city finals and beyond. These episodes draw in the masses. While I generally skip the profile pieces when I have the chance others like them, for example my wife and son. That being said they are focusing a bit to much on the tragic this year. I don't need to hear about anymore dead kids, fathers or uncles.
We'll get to see a majority of most of the favorites runs in the city finals which start in less than two weeks.
Here is a less digested version of Jamie Rahn's run:

Rip fastest finisher But he will be shown at the last to run in Finals <3 {Spoiler} Unless there is someone more popular that the producers want to save for the last run of the night.
Someone who almost always completes the city finals' course.

Is it allowed to take pictures or videos?

A few random comments and questions:
1) Shouldn't this have been Chris Wilczewski's region? Taking a break because too busy as NNL president?
2) Speaking of which: Glad to see that the strong runs of the NNL's top athletes continue. Only mildly surprised that Allyssa finished the course, she's the NNL champ after all. I want to see more of them on ANW, such as The People's Ninja.
3) That POM Run of the Night system is just pathetic. We know Jesse is the last runner of the episode. We know a woman already hit the buzzer. We know the POM Run hasn't been awarded yet, so it must be her. Why even bother watching her run then??? She'd hardly get run of the night for like falling on the 3rd obstacle. Turning excitement into boredom at its best.
4) A tougher version of a former Vegas Stage 3 obstacle on a City Qualifying (!) course. Okay then.
5) Joe Moravsky must have a looot of faith in his friend's ability to throw a smartphone over such a distance.

Did anyone else notice that they spoiled Mike Bernardo's run in a commercial break prior? They showed him yelling "I love Cleveland!" and you could see the celebratory smoke behind him... Yeah I noticed it and there are terrible with spoilers (Revealed Top 30 San Antonio, Top 15 Daytona, and Top 30 Kansas City during the Premiere) Only if you are such a moron to pause the picture and stare at it. I am exactly such a moron. Luckily I forgot most, I remember only like 3 or 4 faces.
Also, not sure why they'd show the Top 15 of a region. If you're gonna spoil, at least show "only" the top 30.

I think Chris wilchezki missed Cleveland because of something personal. He's not injured; and there's no way he would let the nnl conflict with his Anw runs. Hell, he went to Vegas. Probably something unfortunate happened with even more unfortunate timing.

3. Why would you actively consider skipping a run over an arbitrary achievement that doesn't affect anything about the show? 4. ANW has used Stage 3 obstacles on qualifying courses since the very first ANW.

That’s mean this obs is even harder than the one in Vegas (he meant this stupid “I-Beam Gap” aka Spider Flip)
