We are racing the clock. 28 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,920 The jets are definitely gonna have to be put on. 29 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,080 The furthest fastest from all three series 30 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,160 are facing off once again, and they'll want to go all the way. 31 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,360 Get up Mount Midoriyama, that is the goal, that's the dream. 32 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,400 I really feel like I could do it this year. 33 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,240 Hopefully, this is just a stepping stone towards Mount Midoriyama. 34 00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:34,080 Or could it be one of our power couple? 35 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,200 Ben Polson just scraped through this year. 36 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,720 Oh, no! 37 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,440 Can he overcome his demons? 38 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,080 It was deja vu. 39 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,360 It's not a nice position to be in. 40 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,840 But I'm here and I'm not gonna waste this opportunity. 41 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,400 Or could Olivia Vivian be the first woman ever to make it to Stage 2? 42 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,960 My biggest goal tonight is to hit that buzzer. 43 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,920 To do that, I'm gonna have to be fast. 44 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,200 No rest times tonight. 45 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,360 Then there's the new contenders. 46 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,120 They've got their work cut out for them 47 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,440 because last year's winner, Charlie Robbins... 48 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,560 Charlie, fly! 49 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,240 ..and a real contender for this year, Zak Stolz... 50 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,920 You have been phenomenal. 51 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,200 Bam! 52 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,640 ..both scored a make-good on the Power Tower. 53 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,920 If they fail the course, they'll get to run it all again. 54 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,200 But, if they want to win, they'll have to get past this first. 55 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,000 Introducing our newest ninja killer, the Ferris Wheel. 56 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,920 It might look like the funhouse, but it's a house of horrors. 57 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,960 I don't want a ticket on that ride. Nuh. 58 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,320 Time is of the essence, and the equation is simple. 59 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,240 Just you beat the clock and get to the end of the course. 60 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,280 Go, go, go, go, go. 61 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,120 If you don't hit that buzzer in time, 62 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,480 there is no argument that you are out. 63 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,440 Get through tonight and they're one step closer to the mountain. 64 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,040 No-one's climbed that rope yet. 65 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,200 To even have the opportunity to do it would be insane. 66 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,440 This is it, the Grand Final of Australian Ninja Warrior. 67 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,120 (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) 68 00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:19,200 Hello and welcome to the Australian Ninja Warrior Season 4 Grand Final. 69 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,240 I'm Rebecca Maddern. 70 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,280 I'm Ben Fordham. 71 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,320 And I'm Shane Crawford. 72 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,320 We started with 160 ninjas, 73 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,800 and, after four heats and two semifinals, 74 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,880 we're now down to the best 24 ninjas in Australia, 75 00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:34,280 every one of them 76 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,360 determined to go furthest fastest and win that massive $100,000 prize. 77 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,040 And, for the ninjas who complete all three stages, 78 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,960 there's the added incentive of a shot at Mount Midoriyama. 79 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,840 The fastest ninja to conquer the mountain 80 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,200 will score a life-changing $400,000. 81 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,160 It has never been conquered. 82 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,400 It's by far the toughest obstacle of all of them, 83 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,520 but, for our ninjas, tough is just part of the job description. 84 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,000 Ahead of them is the most demanding Grand Final course we've ever seen. 85 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,880 20 of the biggest, most challenging obstacles over two huge nights. 86 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,320 Tonight, the best 24 ninjas in the country will tackle Stage 1. 87 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,000 Survive this and it's on to Stages 2 and 3 tomorrow night. 88 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,440 Get through all these stages and they'll get a crack at ninja nirvana, 89 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,600 the top of Mount Midoriyama. 90 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,600 The Grand Final Stage 1 course 91 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:42,200 consists of nine daunting obstacles to be completed in 3:45. 92 00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:45,440 That's an average of 25 seconds per obstacle, 93 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,040 starting with the dangerous Snake Run, 94 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,680 six angled steps across the pool. 95 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,520 Second is the Rolling Log, 96 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,000 where ninjas hold on through a wild spinning ride down an 8-metre track. 97 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,120 They'll need to battle dizziness and disorientation on the Diving Boards, 98 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,200 crossing three boards that demand perfect foot placement. 99 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,280 The Ring Turn is next, and, with the clock ticking tonight, 100 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,760 completing it quickly could be crucial. 101 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:18,720 Relying on upper body strength, ninjas must spin, 102 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,760 then lock the two larger rings 103 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:24,040 before swinging across to the smaller third ring and safety. 104 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,800 Obstacle five, the Flying Shelf Grab. 105 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,760 All about lache technique and finger strength. 106 00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:34,280 Ninjas leap between three shelves of alternating heights. 107 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,520 Sixth is the iconic Warped Wall for ninjas to overcome, 108 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,280 but three more challenging obstacles await on the other side. 109 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,440 Starting with another time-burning obstacle, 110 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,840 the never-seen-before Ferris Wheel. 111 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,360 Using the pivoting handles, 112 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,960 ninjas must move around the first wheel and lock it into place. 113 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,240 Arm fatigue is a real issue as they make the treacherous transfer 114 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,880 to the second wheel to do the same all over again. 115 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,400 Obstacle eight is the Spider Jump, 116 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,360 a true test of coordination between hands and feet. 117 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,600 Using the mini tramp, ninjas must stick the landing, 118 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,840 and then scramble to save every second 119 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,120 through the 8-metre suspended tunnel. 120 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,960 Then, with the clock ticking down and fatigue kicking in, 121 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,960 the final obstacle is the 8-metre Chimney Sweep. 122 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,720 Hit the buzzer inside 3:45 123 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,440 and you've beaten the course and beaten the clock. 124 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,640 Stage 1 is done and it's onto Stages 2 and 3 tomorrow night. 125 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,280 It is Grand Final time and the heat is on. 126 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,400 Every single ninja stepping out on that course has earned their spot. 127 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,240 They're all weapons, the best of the best. 128 00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:48,120 The pressure is on. 129 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,040 There's gonna be a time limit I have to beat. 130 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,240 It's just you beat the clock and get to the end of the course. 131 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:54,200 There's no furthest fastest. 132 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,640 It's buzzer or nothing. 133 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,440 If you don't hit that buzzer in time, 134 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,320 there is no argument that you are out, and there's nothing else to it. 135 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,560 It's all about speed, but don't go too fast where you make a mistake. 136 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,320 It's Ninja Warrior, anything can happen to anyone at any time. 137 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,920 Anything can happen tonight, 138 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,200 but Charlie Robbins and Zac Stolz will run a little easier 139 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,040 in the knowledge they have the second-chance advantage 140 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,920 gained on the Power Tower in the Semifinals. 141 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000 If either make a mistake, or fail to hit the buzzer on their runs, 142 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,600 they'll get to do it all over again. 143 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,840 OK, let's kick off the Grand Final action 144 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,240 with our first run of the night. 145 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,960 He's an absolute legend, 146 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,760 who's appearing in his fourth straight Grand Final. 147 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,560 This year, he looks faster than ever, 148 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,400 and his action-packed runs always deliver. 149 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,680 Ladies and gentlemen, the Tradie Ninja, Sam Goodall. 150 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,920 So, I've put a lot of thought into the Grand Final, especially Stage 1. 151 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,440 So, last year, I timed out with just a couple of seconds to go. 152 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,760 He's got four seconds left, three seconds, two seconds... 153 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,760 I got to the buzzer, hit it and it was dead, just nothing happened. 154 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,800 He doesn't get there, he just misses out. 155 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,040 That was pretty devastating. 156 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,280 So, I've just been working on speed this year 157 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,120 to make sure I hit the buzzer within the right time. 158 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,480 Grand Final is just a stepping stone for me. 159 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,960 I'm here to conquer Mount Midoriyama. 160 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,840 I've built one in the backyard. 161 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,560 I've been training it twice a day. 162 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,480 Times are getting faster and faster. 163 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,600 I'm very confident 164 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,120 that there's no-one out there that can beat me up that rope. 165 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,320 My wife and I have had another baby this year, which is great, 166 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,800 so that's two tradie babies. 167 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,320 The 400 grand for conquering Mount Midoriyama, 168 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,960 that would change our life as a family. 169 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,680 I've built Mount Midoriyama, I've trained it 170 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,640 and now I've come here to defeat it. 171 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,800 He's the Tradie Ninja. 172 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,120 Don't take your eyes off this guy when he's on the
