Oliver Edelmann is considered as one of the most memorable and successful competitors of Ninja Warrior Germany, not only because of the fact that he was the Last Man Standing of the first ever season of Ninja Warrior Germany, being the only participant to clear the First Stage of the Finals of that season, but also because of that fact that Edelmann is one of only two Ninja Warrior Germany competitors who reached the Finals in every season of the show so far. Aside from his paticipations in Ninja Warrior Germany, Oliver Edelmann also participated in SASUKE Ninja Warrior Indonesia: International Competition as a part of Team Europe, in Ninja Warrior Austria 2, in American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. The World 5 as a part of Team Europe and also in SASUKE 40.

On April 1st, 2024, Oliver announced and confirmed in this post of his Instagram account that he had received a rejection (the reasons for that have not been stated by RTL as of now) from the show's production after applying to participate in Ninja Warrior Germany 9 together with his wife Stefanie, who later also announced her own rejection.
