Chris Fantauzzo

Chris Fantauzzo is the son of Carl Fantauzzo Jr, who works alongside him in a ninja gym known as "The Warrior Factory".

American Ninja Warrior 9
It was confirmed by Carl that Chris was making his ANW debut in Cleveland with him. However, Chris' run was cut from the broadcast. It was revealed, however, that he made it to the Ring Jump, one obstacle farther than his father. He still didn't make the top 30.

American Ninja Warrior 10
Chris had competed again in American Ninja Warrior 10 in Philadelphia. His run was cut, but it was shown that he fell on the Lightning Bolts. Chris still placed 16th overall and advanced to the city finals.

Although his run wasn't broadcasted, Chris is actually one of two returning competitors to fail the Lightning Bolts. There were a total of 17 rookies that were mentioned to have made it to the city finals, meaning it included 16 male rookies failing the Lightning Bolts and make the top 30, plus one female competitor failing the Lightning Bolts but placing in the womens' top 5. Combined with there being 12 finishers in Philadelphia qualifying, plus an extra three competitors to fail the obstacle but not make it into the city finals, this leaves Chris Fantauzzo with another veteran (James Bartholomew) out. Fantauzzo is on his second year competing, while Bartholomew is on his third year competing.

In the city finals, Fantauzzo once again failed the Lightning Bolts, and did not make it in the top 15. His time to that point placed him 17th overall.
