Due to incredible results from [[American Ninja Warrior 7]], all members of Team USA from the [[American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. The World|previous tournament]] were changed, with 5 competitors made their American Ninja Warrior's international tournament debut, including [[Geoff Britten]] and [[Isaac Caldiero]], the first two competitors to achieve [[Kanzenseiha|total victory]] in American Ninja Warrior history. However, during the taping of Stage Two, Geoff Britten suddenly suffered a high fever (about 103 degrees Fahrenheit/39.4 degrees Celsius), and wasn't able to compete for the rest of the tournament. Therefore, [[Joe Moravsky]] took his place as member of Team USA.

These competitors were revealed by The Hollywood Reporter on December 16th, 2015.<br>Competitors marked in '''bold''' are competitors returning from the [[American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. The World|previous tournament]].
  
  +
  +
Due to poor results from 2 previous American Ninja Warrior's international tournaments ([[American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. Japan|USA vs. Japan]] and [[American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. The World|USA vs. The World]]), Team Japan had changed 3 out of 5 competitors from the [[American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. The World|previous tournament]], with [[Takahashi Kenji]], [[Kawaguchi Tomohiro]], and [[Hioki Masashi]] made their American Ninja Warrior's international tournament debut.
  +
  +
As the reigning champion of the [[American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. The World|previous tournament]], Team Europe only changed 2 competitors, with [[Tim Champion]] (United Kingdom) and [[Alexander Mars]] (Sweden) made their American Ninja Warrior's international tournament debut.
  +
  +
Interestingly, among the 16 competitors who competed on this tournament, 3 of them had recently achieved [[Kanzenseiha|kanzenseiha/total victory]] in 2015 ([[Morimoto Yūsuke]] in [[SASUKE 31]], [[Geoff Britten]] and [[Isaac Caldiero]] on [[American Ninja Warrior 7]]).

⚫
① [[Piston Road]]<br>
  
  +
*From Stage One to Stage Three, there were 3 heats in each stage.
⚫
② [[Propeller Untei|Propeller Bar]]<br>
  
  +
*Each heat consisted of 3 competitors (1 competitor from each team).
⚫
③ [[Silk Slider]]<br>
  
  +
*In each heat, the competitor who completed the course (or made the furthest) in the fastest time would receive points for his respective team: 1 point for each heat in Stage One, 2 points for each heat in Stage Two, and 3 points for each heat in Stage Three.
⚫
④ [[Jumping Spider]]<br>
  
  +
*The points would be cumulated among those three stages, and the team who got the highest points would be the champion of the tournament.
⚫
⑤ [[Sonic Curve]]<br>
  
  +
*If there were at least 2 teams who got the same highest points, those teams would send one member each to scale the Stage Four tower. Whoever reached the top of the tower in the fastest time, his respective team would be the champion of the tournament.

UvTW2 Logo

American Ninja Warrior: USA vs The World 2 was the third installment of American Ninja Warrior's international tournament, which was premiered on January 31st, 2016.

Competitors

Due to incredible results from American Ninja Warrior 7, all members of Team USA from the previous tournament were changed, with 5 competitors made their American Ninja Warrior's international tournament debut, including Geoff Britten and Isaac Caldiero, the first two competitors to achieve total victory in American Ninja Warrior history. However, during the taping of Stage Two, Geoff Britten suddenly suffered a high fever (about 103 degrees Fahrenheit/39.4 degrees Celsius), and wasn't able to compete for the rest of the tournament. Therefore, Joe Moravsky took his place as member of Team USA.

Due to poor results from 2 previous American Ninja Warrior's international tournaments (USA vs. Japan and USA vs. The World), Team Japan had changed 3 out of 5 competitors from the previous tournament, with Takahashi Kenji, Kawaguchi Tomohiro, and Hioki Masashi made their American Ninja Warrior's international tournament debut.

As the reigning champion of the previous tournament, Team Europe only changed 2 competitors, with Tim Champion (United Kingdom) and Alexander Mars (Sweden) made their American Ninja Warrior's international tournament debut.

Interestingly, among the 16 competitors who competed on this tournament, 3 of them had recently achieved kanzenseiha/total victory in 2015 (Morimoto Yūsuke in SASUKE 31, Geoff Britten and Isaac Caldiero on American Ninja Warrior 7).

Team USA Team Japan Team Europe

Competition Format

The competition worked as followed:

  • From Stage One to Stage Three, there were 3 heats in each stage.
  • Each heat consisted of 3 competitors (1 competitor from each team).
  • In each heat, the competitor who completed the course (or made the furthest) in the fastest time would receive points for his respective team: 1 point for each heat in Stage One, 2 points for each heat in Stage Two, and 3 points for each heat in Stage Three.
  • The points would be cumulated among those three stages, and the team who got the highest points would be the champion of the tournament.
  • If there were at least 2 teams who got the same highest points, those teams would send one member each to scale the Stage Four tower. Whoever reached the top of the tower in the fastest time, his respective team would be the champion of the tournament.
  • There was no time limit to complete the stages (Stage One to Stage Four).
