Kacy Catanzaro was the first woman to finish an American Ninja Warrior course when she did the qualifier course in Dallas, and she was one of very few (and the only woman) who actually finished the Dallas finals course last week.
She had some things going for her, she's only 100 lbs and she used be a gymnast so it's easier for her to control her body weight and momentum.
But, she's also only 5 foot tall which means her wingspan (finger tip to finger tip when arms are outstretched) is only 5 feet. Some obstacles on the course are at least that far apart if not farther.
And the course is heavily sKewed to upper body strength. It's hard for women, and really heavy guys (they have more weight to carry across on their arms)
I thought for sure she wasn't going to make it, but her performance was amazing. Really inspiring.
