Who can beat Jean Tezenas du Montcel? While TF1 is broadcasting season 6 of ninja warrior, discover the names of the candidates who will try to rub shoulders with the tower of heroes in the grand finale.
While TF1 launched on Friday January 7 season 6 of ninja warrior, dozens of seasoned athletes wanted to do battle to try to win the 100,000 euros at stake in the event of a final victory… and thus dethrone Jean Tezenas du Montcel, to date the only winner. Everyone can count on the support of Denis Brogniart, Christopher Beaugrand and Iris Mittenare. And they will need it in the face of the difficulties of the tests and the new rules. Because this year, in addition to the physical prowess, it is the speed of execution of the obstacles which is also taken into account.
The stopwatch will be decisive in this season 6
In addition, there are now three courses that must be crossed before being able to hope to reach the final: that of qualification, that of the Battles of the Steel Tower (which decides between the ten ‘slowest’ candidates) and finally that semi-finals. As always, the candidate who climbs the Mega-Wall of 5m50 at the end of the qualification course wins his direct ticket for the final.
Who to beat Jean Tezenas du Montcel?
For his sixth participation, the defending champion hopes to keep his crown. “It would be great to be the first in the world to win twice, but that’s not really my goal. Ninja, it’s a moment that is important to me, it’s a kind of milestone in my year where I go see my friends and I have a good time. It’s for fun… Each year, the level of the opponents is super strong! I never considered myself the best in Ninja. I’ve been for the past two years, but that doesn’t mean I’m stronger than anyone. It’s just that everything went well for me” Jean Tezenas du Montcel entrusted us with last season. But this year, the next generation is not coming to play the extras! Here are the names of the finalists for this season 6…
