Русский ниндзя

Sports

Channel One presents the most extreme project on Russian television, where participants will compete for the grand prize of five million rubles on a world-famous obstacle course. "Russian Ninja" is the Russian version of the iconic Ninja Warrior format. This show about strong-minded athletes (a Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) format) gained worldwide fame thanks to its signature obstacle course, which increases in difficulty with each stage and culminates in the final challenge – "Mount Midoriyama." In the qualifying round, participants must successfully overcome six obstacles without falling into the water. This requires serious physical preparation, and not everyone, even the most prepared athlete, can complete it. In the semifinals, the obstacle course becomes significantly more challenging. The final is divided into three independent stages, each with a time limit. Each obstacle on the show is capable of stopping even the strongest and most agile athlete. But some are unanimously considered the most treacherous. Among them are "Ring Road", "Iron Tulips" (qualifying stage), "Mad Workout", "Free Climb" (semi-finals), "Ninja Rise", "Over the Cliff" and, of course, "Mount Midoriyama" (final).
