American Ninja Warrior 2024 Semi-Finals Recap: Who Is Advancing?
The need for speed is higher than ever during the head-to-head Semi-Finals races of ANW Season 16.
The Season 16 American Ninja Warrior Semi-Finals are here, and the stakes are sky-high as Ninjas duke it out to become the next Last Ninja Standing.
Since Season 15 of ANW, the Semi-Finals have embraced a new format in which pairs of Ninjas race against each other on the Semi-Finals course. The winners of the head-to-head races—as well as the two Ninjas who ran faster and farther than the other competitors—get the honor of proceeding to the National Finals. We've also seen the return of the Safety Pass, a certified game-changer. The two Ninjas with the fastest times from the round lay it all out on the obstacle course again to win the Safety Pass, which allows Ninjas to retry a single course in the ANW National Finals.
