The third season finished airing the other day. They kept the same format as last year. There were seven qualifying heats where the top 20 moved on to the qualifying final and the top 8 there moved on to the semi-final. The semi-final was a single stage where the top 28 competitors moved on to the finals. Below are the finals results. {Finals Results}10 out of the 28 finalists completed Stage 1 and 5 reached the second part of Stage 2. René Kaselowsky, a 21 year old circus performer failed the Floating Boards and Benjamin Grams, a 25 year old professional parkour and freerunning athlete, failed the Cliffhanger. Kim Marschner, a 20 year old climber, and Moritz Hans, a 22 year old sports climber and student who was last season's Last Man Standing, both failed the Flying Bar. Alexander Wurm, a 22 year old student, was the first to clear the second part of Stage 2 in Germany becoming the Last Man Standing. Wurm came up short of total victory when he timed out about 18 meters up the 20 meter Rope Climb.
Oliver Edelmann, season one's Last Man Standing, was disqualified on the Hourglass Drop in Stage 2 for skipping the second board.
Overall it was another great season out of Germany. |

Grant McCartney was on the Celebrity special and posted his runs on IG he climbed the final tower and beat all the stages, but do we count it as a Kanzenseiha? If I recall, Isaac did the same last year in Germany too. Do we count those if they're only 3 stages and on a celebrity special? |

But seriously, that is actually hilarious. Even a mid-tier ANW competitor who's had a bit of a slump recently just flat out Total Victory'd their whole course. Just goes to show how far ahead the American courses are compared to literally any ANW spinoff. |

But in the all star special the course was much easier than in the finals. In the final stage you have only 25 seconds and not 30 seconds.

The course was a qualifiers course, not the finals course. It was untimed, the first stage ended at the warped wall and the second stage ended at the spider climb, and only the top three moved on to Midoriyama regardless of whether they cleared the second stage or not. Also the 20m rope climb was untimed. Normally it would have a 25 second time limit. This was just a celebrity special where money was donated for each obstacle/stage completed. Half of the regular season finalists would have cleared all three stages. If it showed anything, it's that Grant would be 15ft short of total victory in ANW's final stage.

How did he "total victory" it?
1.It had no qualifiers, no semis, just two courses. 2.It had two stages instead of three. Who says that he'd have made it past the Cliffhanger, or Flying Bars, etc in regular comp?
3.Stage 1 ended at the Wall. Who says that he'd have made it up the Elevator Climb or Invisible Ladder in regular comp? 4.The obstacles were made easier for the celeb special and you could even break rules (e.g. touch forbidden parts, touch the water) 5.On the Mount, he was 7 seconds slower than the limit in regular comp. How does that give you total victory?
Please inform yourself a little more before you bash other competitions, thanks.

I mean, did he perform an illegal move on the course that would've disqualified him? Otherwise, it's kind of moot to make that point. Plus, it's pretty fair to assume that a lot of ANW competitors could do very well in spinoff shows due to their short lifespan, considering how much the course is downgraded. It's not really bashing to claim that many European courses are less difficult compared to their American and Japanese counterparts. |
