Rachael Goldstein is an occupational therapist from Cherry Hill, New Jersey who competed on four seasons of American Ninja Warrior.

American Ninja Warrior[]

American Ninja Warrior 8[]

She first competed on American Ninja Warrior 8 in Philadelphia. She was one of many to fail the Rolling Thunder, but her time was fast enough to advance to the city finals as she placed 29th. This became a historical moment in American Ninja Warrior, as she was one of four women to make the top 30 and advance to the city finals, subsequently leading to the formation of the Fantastic Four. In the city finals, she failed the Wall Drop, but was selected to compete in the national finals as a wildcard.

Her run on Stage One was cut, but it was revealed that she failed the Propeller Bar.

American Ninja Warrior 9[]

She returned to compete on American Ninja Warrior 9 in Cleveland. Her run was digested, but it was shown she failed the Ring Jump. Unfortunately, her time to that point was not fast enough to place her in the Women’s Top 5. As such, she was the only member of the Fantastic Four to not advance to the city finals.

American Ninja Warrior 10[]

She returned to compete on American Ninja Warrior 10 in Miami. Her run in qualifying was digested, but she was one of many to fail Slippery Summit. Luckily, she was able to advance to the city finals once again as she placed 24th and 2nd among the Women’s Top 5. In the city finals, she got revenge on the Slippery Summit andbecame the 13th woman to scale the Warped Wall. She ultimately failed on Crazy Clocks, but since only 14 competitors got to that point, she not only placed 2nd among the Women’s Top 2, but also 14th overall. In fact, she was one of just 5 women this season to rank in the top 15 during a city finals round.

On Stage One, she got revenge on the Propeller Bar, which knocked her out two seasons ago, only to fail on the Double Dipper as she lost her grip, ending her best season to date.

She announced on Instagram that while she did get the call to compete in Baltimore on American Ninja Warrior 11, she will not be competing that season, as she was pregnant and expecting her first child. Her daughter, Finley Rose Stahl, was born on October 11th, 2019.

American Ninja Warrior 12[]

After taking the previous year off due to pregnancy, she returned to compete on American Ninja Warrior 12. She put together a group of new parents, which included her former Superhero Squad teammate Sean Darling-Hammond. Although her run was digested, she fell on the Beehive. Still, it was fast enough to get into the top 3 for the females and qualify for the semi-finals. On her Instagram, she stated that while filming an extra episode between the taping of her qualifier and semi-finals, she injured her finger, and had to withdraw. She was replaced by Jeri D'Aurelio.

While Rachael did get the call to compete on American Ninja Warrior 13, she backed out due to personal family business. She has not competed since.
