No Andrea Hah, Tom O'Halloran, Lee and Ben Cossey, Jack Gooch, Jayden Irving and gym owners David and Mark Ravi, and, Luke Williams. Women really struggled this season with really one exception Only 5 heats not 6 like last year. Makes me suspicious competitors are not completely happy with how it is run. Pleased they featured Fred Dorrington this year unlike last years strange treatment. Andrea's pregnant, not too sure about why the others didn't compete (unless they were just cut and we didn't realise as very few extra unbroadcasted runs were uploaded to their YouTube channel). Also really happy Fred didn't get digested and Mike Snow didn't get the complete cut treatment, hopefully the trend continues and it's not just due to the mega wall. Overall, despite the repetition of courses, actually an enjoyable 6ish hours of my life spent watching these. Bring on the even more repetitive semis...! One thing I will say though is if they are going to use the exact same course (h1&3, h2&5), the cut off for one heat being 2nd/3rd obstacle and the other being being 5th is completely unfair on the competitors.

Thank you for the information.
It is possible some of them ran and fell early enough not to make the semi-finals
Some of those who did make it were given no air time which is a bit harsh.

Semi-finals course: Archer Steps Rolling Log Razor's Edge Ring Toss Bar Hop Warped Wall Salmon Ladder Flying Shelf Grab Bouncing Spider Invisible Ladder {Spoiler} Oi wtf Bouncing Spider in 9th? That course looks easy enough already. Also is it just me or is this basically all obstacles used in Northeast region ANW during seasons 8 and 9 (Rolling Log, Razor Edge, FSG)

Also is it just me or is this basically all obstacles used in Northeast region ANW during seasons 8 and 9 (Rolling Log, Razor Edge, FSG) Remember this is the Aussie field, there are much less top tier ninjas than in America. It is certainly easier than last year, but that change was needed as the number of clears was far too low for their liking (average of 2.5 clears per semi-final last year - and having very few clears at the city final/ semi-final stage is almost exclusively an ANW thing).

They seem to have fixed some of the timing issues from last year.

Not sure, perhaps something happened and he could not run at all. There was a top performer from season two who was not shown either in the semifinals.
Also there is at least one grand finalist who has not had one mention or second of a run shown so far.

Wow. Looking at Australian Ninja Warrior 2019, the format looks very similar to ANW 2019. Also: I can't believe Olivia Vivian pulled a Mighty Kacy! She was the last woman standing in that competition and even passed the tough Invisible Ladder in the semifinals! This clip shows it all:

{Spoiler} It was a great run by Olivia Vivian. Not sure how it compares to the women in American Ninja Warrior who have completed City finals course.

Okay, I thought there was more than one, not really a follower American Ninja Warrior until last season and this season.
So this performance was amongst the best ever by a female Ninja Warrior?

It was a question not a claim. Trying to understand.

One of the best performances, not THE best performance...
Also Barclay did take over 3 minutes to clear.

The swinging cliffhanger is not really a cliffhanger, it is very easy.
They love the fastest but it is the furthest not the fastest which matters in the end.
