# American Ninja Warrior season 13

The thirteenth season of American Ninja Warrior premiered on May 31, 2021 on NBC. The season contain 12 episodes. A spin-off from the Japanese reality series Sasuke, it is hosted by Matt Iseman, Akbar Gbaja-Biamila, and Zuri Hall. As with the twelfth season, this season used a smaller number of filming locations with no audiences during taping due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The series was announced in November 2020, a few weeks after the previous season finished airing. Applications were officially being accepted that month. The series was also a full season, as opposed to the shortened, 8-episode season seen in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming took place entirely in Seattle/Tacoma and Los Angeles, California, with the national finals filming back in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Grand Prize and the Last Ninja Standing reward were restored, as $1,000,000 and $100,000, respectively. Kaden Lebsack, 15, was Last Ninja Standing, winning the $100,000 first prize after narrowly missing out on the grand prize in the rope climb.
Starting with this season, the age requirement dropped from 19 years old to 15. Competitors also included "family" teams of three, with at least one teenager 15 to 19 years old, with each member competing on two obstacles. Filming for the season began in March 2021 and casting took place between November 22 to December 14, 2020. The full cast of competitors was announced in January 2021. The season introduced "Split Decision", in which competitors could choose one of two obstacles to do for the third obstacle in qualifying courses and the ninth obstacle in semifinal courses. In the National Finals, Split Decision occurred on the eighth and final obstacle of Stage One.

## Los Angeles Semifinals

The show moved to Los Angeles, California for the semifinals, which took place on the lot of Universal Studios Hollywood. The Power Tower returned here, where the top two finishers would face off for the chance to win a Safety Pass (which would allow for a do-over of stage 1 or 2 of the Finals if necessary). Contestants who won the Power Tower race are indicated in green. Women in the top 15 italics.

### Night 1

Two new obstacles were introduced, the first of which was the 5th obstacle, called Wall to Wall. Split Decision was moved to the back half of the course as the 9th obstacle, and here, competitors had a choice between another new obstacle, an upper-body obstacle called the Inverter, or a balance obstacle, the Tuning Forks.

Jody Avila, the sixteenth place player, was added. Coincidentally, Avila won an unaired Power Tower in season 12 that did not air because of a federal investigation involving Drew Dreschel, who achieved Total Victory in season 11.

### Night 4

A record-breaking number of 12 athletes hit a semifinals buzzer tonight. Some notable competitors like Ethan Swanson, Joe Brown, Flip Rodriguez, Dan Polizzi, and Cal Phlohoros didn't move on to the National Finals. Jake Murray put the fastest time for the second year in a row in a semifinals round, despite a loss on the Power Tower against Austin Gray. Also, since no woman competitor has completed the course, the final runner Jesse Labreck, kept the streak alive by becoming the only woman to clear the extended course.
