Andres De La Rosa is a CrossFit personal trainer and gymnastics coach who first competed in American Ninja Warrior 2.
American Ninja Warrior 2[]
In American Ninja Warrior 2, he had a good run up until the Spider Walk where he aggravated a knee injury. After finishing the jumping bars he hesitated on the Warped Wall because his knee was significantly hurting and he was apprehensive about injuring it further. It took him two tries on the Warped Wall and he missed the semi-finals by four seconds and came in 32nd.
American Ninja Warrior 3[]
In his sophomore season, he returned with the goal of clearing and getting into the semi-finals after missing by just a few seconds the year prior. His qualifying run was all cut and frustratingly he had an identical performance. He cleared the qualifying course but once again didn't have a time quick enough to make it, in fact his time was even worse than the previous year.
American Ninja Warrior 4[]
In American Ninja Warrior 4, he completed the Northwest qualifiers in 21st place, and in the regional finals, he finished the course but placed 16th, missing the Top 15 by one spot. He did, however, earn a chance to compete in Las Vegas due to Patrick McGrath withdrawing from the finals, though to little avail as he failed the Jumping Spider.
American Ninja Warrior 5[]
After not getting selected in the Venice walk-on line, he walked on in Denver for American Ninja Warrior 5, where he got a chance to run. He placed 26th in the qualifying round. In the city finals, he failed the Pole Grasper, which placed him 9th, earning him a spot in the national finals. He then managed to get revenge on the Jumping Spider and clear Stage One with a narrow window of 4.24 seconds left. On Stage Two, he became one of only eight to advance past the Unstable Bridge that season. However, he failed the Metal Spin after his feet touched the water when the cord dropped, being the only victim to have been claimed by that obstacle, ending his breakout season. He also emerged as the last walk-on standing that season.
American Ninja Warrior 6[]
In American Ninja Warrior 6, he competed in Venice. His run in qualifying was all cut, but he managed to clear the qualifying course, placing 16th. In the city finals, his run was digested, but it was shown that he was one of many to fail Cannonball Alley. Since his time to that point was not fast enough to make the Top 15, his season ended without a return trip to the Las Vegas national finals as he placed 18th.
He has not competed since. However, it was known that he got banned during American Ninja Warrior 7 due to trespassing the Universal Studios set in Orlando after previously being required to leave due to his audience timeslot expiring, but decided to jump the fences back in to continue watching the tapings and got caught. It is currently unknown if his ban was or will ever be lifted and if he attempted to return and apply to American Ninja Warrior.
