Girl Power
I have this obsession with the show American Ninja Warrior where people compete on an impossible obstacle course which test their agility and strength. This show is primarily dominated by men since they are larger and have bigger wingspans then the girls so it is "easier" for them. However, throughout the most recent years girls have been stepping up to the plate such as Kacy Catanzara, Jessie Graff and so much more. Kacy Catanzara is 5 ft and 100 lbs soo she is so petite and nothing like these huge men that compete. That did not stop her because she was the first women to qualify and complete in the city finals. This gave her entry into the Las Vegas finals which is three stages and much harder. Here is a video of her competing Kacy Dallas finals. She did not make is pass the first stage of Vegas, but this was still an incredible thing. She worked her butt off for this. She deserved so much recognition and respect because most men could not even make it that far. The next super star is Jessie Grass who is a stunt double on SuperGirl. Last year she broke all of the records that Kacy set. She crushed the qualifiers in Las Vegas, fell in the finals but with her time and placement she moved onto to the trials in Vegas. Jessie Graff qualifiers Jessie Graff finals She then proceeded to make history as the first woman to complete Stage 1 of the Vegas Finals.Las Vegas stage 1 She made it pretty far in Stage 2 until she fell. This is still an amazing thing because not many people make it this far especially not women.Stage 1 Jessie Graff This show is soo empowering as a girl watching it. I am obsessed and every time I watch it I want to go work out. It just proves that with time and practice anyone can do anything. I highly recommend the show for everyone.
