Drew Drechsel (or Double D) is an American who made it to SASUKE 27 through via tryouts in American Ninja Warrior 3. While in Japan, he made good time through the first half of Stage 1. Then on the Half-Pipe Attack, he landed on the log and tore his ACL and MCL. He attempted to get up the Soritatsu Kabe, but he couldn't put pressure on his leg without causing himself serious pain and was forced to withdraw from the competition for his own health.
Drechsel had to wait 3 months for his leg to heal before surgery, then he seeked out a physical therapist named Joyce Shahboz and thanks to several therapies his knee was healed up and Drew was even better than ever.
