Labor day weekend marked the final weekend without NFL football until February 11th. However, this does not mean there isn’t something worth watching on TV. American Ninja Warrior is one of the best summer shows, and the 9th season is reaching its conclusion. This year, over a thousand athletes competed in 6 City Qualifying courses. The qualifiers were held in Los Angeles, San Antonio, Daytona Beach, Kansas City, Cleveland, and Denver. The top 30 finishers plus the top 5 women from the City Qualifiers course advanced to the City Finals course. The top 15 finishers plus the top 2 women from each City Finals advanced to the National Finals in Las Vegas.
