Mihai Etea

Mihai Etea, also known as the Romanian Monkey, was a hockey player and auto advisor for BMW, who competed on the second season of American Ninja Warrior.

Mihai put up a strong performance in qualifying, blazing through the first few obstacles and becoming the first competitor of the day to clear the Cross Bridge. However, he did not have a lot of speed going into the Jump Hang and got an awkward bounce on the trampoline. He managed to get his fingertips on the net, but could not hold on and backflipped into the water.
