You don’t need to be tall to be an “American Ninja Warrior.”

Kacy Catanzaro shocked “Ninja” viewers with her height-defying performance on an impossibly challenging obstacle course that required the 5-foot-tall former NCAA Southeast Regional Gymnast of the Year to leap through the air.

After watching the students in my daughter’s gymnastics class, I am convinced gymnasts are, pound for pound, the strongest athletes in existence.

I agree. I think, JMO, if we taught gymnastics and krav maga across the board in our military....they would be even more awesome than they already are.

"...they would be even more awesome than they already are."

Under the current regime our military is being fundamentally transformed from awesome to fabulous.

She looked like she had a tailwind going up the spider climb.

Just an incredible athlete.

Agreed. Mad respect for a gymnast. If I had a pretty thing like Kacy Catanzaro for a girlfriend I’d work pretty hard to stay in as good a shape as she is.

Or a reboot of “Gymakata” with a female lead.

And, hopefully, higher production values....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mkl9rtttog
