Idoko Abuh is an electrical engineer who has competed in four American Ninja Warrior tournaments.
American Ninja Warrior 5[]
In qualifying, he couldn't make it up the Warped Wall but was one of the 11 who made it the farthest the fastest. In the city finals, he got his revenge on the Warped Wall and made it all the way to the Rolling Steel, before falling but placed 10th moving onto the National Finals. On Stage One, he finished with the slowest time out of all the finishers and made it through Stage Two with 28.7 seconds left which was the third fastest time. He failed the Roulette Cylinder on the Third Stage, ending his impressive rookie season.
American Ninja Warrior 6[]
In American Ninja Warrior 6, he competed in Miami once more, where unlike his previous attempt in qualifying, he was able to finish the course, placing 7th.
In the city finals, he was expected to go back to Vegas after putting up a outstanding performance as a rookie last year. Abuh was able to breeze through the first two obstacles in the finals, but as a huge shock, his hand touched one of the Dancing Stones, disqualifying him.
It was shown that he was selected as a wildcard, but his run was cut during the Vegas finals. He failed the Jumping Spider like many others, an obstacle he got through last season.
American Ninja Warrior 7[]
American Ninja Warrior 7 didn't prove to be much better. Just like with ANW5, he failed to complete the qualifying course, falling on the Double Tilt Ladder, making it the first time he didn’t attempt the Warped Wall in qualifying. Like two years ago, he was able to make the top 30 despite not finishing the course.
In the city finals, he got redemption on the Double Tilt Ladder, but shockingly fell on the Salmon Ladder, which he was able to get through two years ago. He ended up placing 19th overall.
American Ninja Warrior 17[]
In American Ninja Warrior 8, Abuh was not invited back, most likely due to a combination of his disappointing performances in previous seasons and him wanting to focus more on college to complete his degree in electrical engineering, and he wouldn't compete again until he was called back to compete in American Ninja Warrior 17 after a ten year hiatus, competing in the fourth qualifying episode. There he made it past the first four obstacles with ease, before he once again failed on the fifth obstacle, this time going out on Battering Ram. His pace to the obstacle wasn't fast enough to save him this time, and he failed to make it into the Top 20, thus he was eliminated in the qualifiers for the first time in his career, despite his record of advancing with fast speed but failure of the course.
