Preliminary round final at Ninja Warrior Germany: Who was able to secure the last tickets for the semi-finals? sport.de looks back on the sixth show of the ninth season.
In six preliminary rounds, Ninja Warrior Germany will first determine who will make it to the semi-finals.
Around 40 participants start in each show on the toughest course in Germany. The best 13 ninjas advance to a round. The two best athletes in each edition also make it to the semi-finals.
In the ninth season, the athletes can for the first time choose between a hanging and a balance obstacle on the course and are therefore faced with the so-called “split decision”.

Whoever has the buzzer in front of them at the end has to choose between the wall 2.0 and the mega wall 2.0. In contrast to previous years, the Mega Wall 2.0 is significantly curved and the run-up is shorter than usual. The “Curved Mega Wall” is celebrating a world premiere at Ninja Warrior Germany. Whoever beats them will be guaranteed 5,000 euros and a semi-final ticket.
At the end of each preliminary round show, the four best ninjas of the day compete as usual on the endless ladder to heaven for direct entry into the final and 5,000 euros. There is also a bonus for ranks two (2,500 euros), three (1,000 euros) and four (500 euros).

The showdown at the Endless Ladder to Heaven
In the last preliminary round show of Ninja Warrior Germany there were nine finishers. Tim Wolf was the fastest with a time of 1 minute and 32.5 seconds. He was followed by Tobias Plangger (1:35.38), Leonardo Calderon (1:38.00) and John Wurth (1:59.83) for the showdown on the endless ladder to heaven.
For Wurth (7th rung) and Calderon (22nd rung) it didn’t make it to the buzzer. The decision therefore fell between Wolf and Plangger. Ultimately there was only around 1.5 seconds between the two opponents.
Wolf beat Plangger (17.17) in 15.79 seconds and is now safely in the final of the ninth season of Ninja Warrior Germany.

Last year’s finalist is already out, “Super Mario Ninja” continues
Last year’s finalist, Marvin Mitterhuber, took part in the course in the sixth preliminary round. The rope maze was his downfall. Mitterhuber ultimately ended up in 22nd place and thus missed the top 13.
With Christian Balkheimer, another experienced ninja made it one round further. “Super Mario Ninja” finished in a time of 3 minutes and 17.83 seconds, placing it in seventh position.
The two best athletes in the sixth show were Nicola Wulf (11th) and Madleen Zirnsak (15th).
Tim Wolf is already safely in the final as the winner of the Endless Ladder to Heaven.
Tobias Plangger, Leonardo Calderon, John Wurth, Marlon Fraatz, Philipp Allgeuer, Christian Balkheimer, Mika Schmidt, Lars Meyer (all as finishers), Lukas Homann, Nicola Wulf, Simon Tobler, Jann Sinne and Madleen Zirnsak were also able to qualify for the semi-finals .

The obstacles in the course
The course began with the starting blocks with a ring. We continued to the crossing via the lightning slide. Then there was the “split decision”: double swivel ladder or surf boards? Then there was the swing arm/rope labyrinth and the kaleidoscope.
Finally, as usual, you had to choose between the Mega Wall 2.0 and the “Curved Mega Wall”.
