Thomas Hubener is a Cirque du Soleil Artist that has competed in Ninja Warrior France and American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. The World 6. He became the first French competitor to compete in the USA vs. The World series since Sean McColl. Thomas is one of the more notable competitors in the show for his impressive performances.
In Ninja Warrior France, Thomas would have an outstanding performance in the first season of the show. He would be one of only two people to clear Stage One, doing so with the fastest time of 38.4 seconds left. Thomas would clear the timed portion of Stage Two easily with yet again the fastest time of 38.9s left, but would miss out on being the first Last Man Standing of the show by immediately failing on the Floating Boards when he slipped off between the transition from the first board to the second board, losing the title to Valentin Dubois.
While Thomas would not return for Ninja Warrior France 2, he would return for Ninja Warrior France 3 and proved that his debut performance was not a fluke by getting back to the untimed portion of Stage Two in the Finals. Thomas would be one of only two competitors to reach that section of the stage, but would go out on the Cliffhanger when he didn't get a good grip of the fifth ledge while pulling himself up on the fourth ledge. He would once again place second overall in the tournament.
Thomas Hubener continued his consistent performances in Ninja Warrior France 4. He would once again make it back to the untimed portion of Stage Two in the Finals and this time would clear the Cliffhanger. He would be one of three competitors to clear Stage Two in that tournament and would be the last to attempt the Final Stage. Thomas would ultimately time up at the 22m mark of the Rope Climb, placing 3rd in that tournament, making it the first time that he doesn't place second in the tournament.
Thomas Hubener would compete in Ninja Warrior France 5, where he would shockingly get disqualified on Stage One when he forgot to turn a clacker on The Clacker, making it the first time he wasn't able to conquer Stage One.
Thomas would return for Ninja Warrior France 6, but would shockingly get eliminated before the finals, going out on the Power Tower race as he slipped off the curved edge of floating steps.
Thomas would return for Ninja Warrior France 8, where he would be one of the legend competitors and wouldn't appear until the semifinals where although both competitors cleared the course, but he hit the buzzer first to clear the course and get a spot in the Finals. On Stage One, he was able to clear the course and get fourth place advancing straight to Stage Two. On Stage Two, he was the second runner of the night where he shockingly failed the Salmon Roll ending his run.
Thomas would return for his seventh season on Ninja Warrior France 9.He would get the fastest time in Heat 4 and this would advance him straight to the finals.On Stage One, Thomas would fail Jawbreakers when he mounted onto the first bar and derailed it off the hooks.
Thomas would make his first international appearance in American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. The World 6 where he would run in the first heat of Stage One where he had the best run out of all Team Europe throughout Stage One making it to the Jumping Spider and earned 0 points in this heat.
