Daniel "Dima" Gerber, is a Kazakh-German industrial electrician who participated in almost every regular Ninja Warrior Germany season (except for Season 3), Team Ninja Warrior Germany 1 & 2 (along with his teams 3-Force and Retro Kids respectively) and Ninja Warrior Germany All-Stars 1 & 2. In Ninja Warrior Germany, Daniel Gerber is one of the most experienced athletes with eight regular seasons, and is always considered as one of the main staples and fan favorites of the show. And while Gerber was always known as one of the faster athletes of the show early on, he saw some setbacks and had to fight through injuries in his earlier seasons. In Ninja Warrior Germany 5, he then saw his first breakout performance and proved as to why he is to be considered as one of the athletes to watch out for by not only scoring the best First Stage clear time of the season (and clearing the First Stage for the first time in his career), but by also getting deep into the Second Stage. Since then, he has had good success in both Ninja Warrior Germany All-Stars, in which he made to the first Duel-Round of the Finals, and in Ninja Warrior Germany 8. In the latter of the seasons, he achieved the second best clear time of the entire Semi-finals (only behind René Casselly) (which granted him a cash prize of 5,000 €). But since Ninja Warrior Germany 5, Gerber also struggled to clear the First Stage again, and it seemed as if the aforementioned performance would stay as his personal best for a long time. In Ninja Warrior Germany 9 however, Daniel Gerber finally found a way out of the curse, and impressed everybody by not only becoming one of nine people to reach the season's Third Stage, but by also fighting all the way to the second half of the sixth and third to last obstacle (Stalactites), which granted him the 4th place of the entire season + his new personal, and proved that is one of the strongest athletes in the show's history.
