5-Ft-Tall Kacy Catanzaro 1st Woman To Finish 'American Ninja Warrior' Course

[big_dog]

She's small, light and a total bona fide badass. Watch her complete this incredible run. Marvel, you have your new lead, whenever primary photography starts on "Thor 4." http://digg.com/video/kacy-catanzaro-american-ninja-warrior

1. Awesome!

[big_dog]

2. can she beat Mt Midoriyama in the Las Vegas Finals as well?

there has to be a female from Japan who has done it as well, since we are a few seasons behind in the states

10. They have a female version of the show in Japan

They use a different course

22. That is where I got interested in ANW.....the male ninja warrior show on the G4 network...

I was just screaming for her to first win the 14 ft wall, and when she beat the finals course, I was screaming so loud I'm sure my neighbors thought there was a murder going on or something. She was just perfection on that course, and she seems like a well adjusted woman too.

3. That was pretty cool

Gymnasts are strong.

[big_dog]

4. good things come in small packages

she is a freaking pehenom!

[dembotoz]

5. ya know its pretty damn hard to cheer someone on reality tv

[big_dog]

6. she's 5'0" 100 lbs

and aced the course all the way, I can root for that

[edhopper]

7. Would it be improper for me to say

I'm in love.

Seriously, that was amazing, what an athlete.
The thing I like about this show is it has world class athletes struggle at things that Bruce Willis seems to effortlessly do in the movies.
Hanging by one hand is very hard IRL.

[ellie]

9. That was awesome!

Go Kacy!

[Dustlawyer]

11. She still proves that everything is bigger in Texas!!! (As in achievements for short athletes)

Yes I know, we have bigger idiot politicians too!

[Aerows]

16. She kicked enough ass

in that competition to make a mule look bad! She did fantastic!

[NaturalHigh]

12. I'm going to go out on a limb here...

and say that she is probably better at this sort of thing than me. What an athlete!

[Aerows]

13. Excellent athlete

Never under estimate small women. We will surprise you every single time

[Aerows]

14. What kind of shoes are those she is wearing?

They look to have amazing traction. Anyone know?

[Marcellakat]

23. She"s wearing Inov-8 bare XF 210 shoes

I liked her shoes too, so I did some research! If you can find them at the store 6pm they are on sale but are out of stock online at that site.LeftLane Sports also had a great price.

[Kaleva]

15. That was something!

[Aerows]

17. I used to climb a set of pine trees the same way

Press your legs and let your body be supported.

It scared the shit out of my parents, but I could make it 25 feet up, and make it 24 feet down LOL.

Pretty easy if you don't weigh much.

[Bonobo]

18. I disagree.

She could never be Thor at 5'0"".

The Wasp maybe.

[big_dog]

21. just get her some lifts like Tom Cruise

shes already got the heart of a champion

[flying rabbit]

19. She made it look easy.

color me impressed.

[flvegan]

20. That's very impressive.

Good for her. Amazing human athlete.
