Ninja Warrior Austria 3 was the third season of the international Ninja Warrior format in Austria. The premiere aired on February 14th, 2022 at PULS 4. The hosts of this season, just as of the previous season, were Florian Knöchl and Mario Hochgerner and the sideline reporter of this season was Dori Bauer.
The Qualifications[]
The Heats were run over in 6 episodes. The 10 fastest competitors who completed the course in each heat would advance to the semi-finals. If less than 10 competitors completed the course, the competitors who got the furthest and fastest round the course would advance to the semi-finals. There was no time limit in the heats. If more than 10 competitors complete the course, the decisive factor is the time in which the course was completed (the sooner the better).
