NBC presentsits third annual high-stakes international competition "American Ninja Warrior: USA Vs. the World" today, Jan. 31 at 8-11 p.m. ET/PT. Three separate teams from America, Europe and Japan compete in Las Vegas on the first three stages of Mt. Midoriyama, the famed four-stage finals course featured in "American Ninja Warrior."
Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila are set to host and Kristine Leahy will co-host. This year Team USA features five new members hoping to bring home the winner's trophy. Leading the team is "American Ninja Warrior" champ and $1 million winner Isaac Caldiero and impressive runner-up, Geoff Britten. They made history on the seventh season of "American Ninja Warrior" as the first two competitors to scale stage four in Las Vegas in June. Rounding out the team are worthy veterans and top ninja warrior competitors Kevin Bull, Drew Drechsel, Ian Dory and Joe Moravsky. After last year's shocking loss to Team Europe, these ninjas are looking to reclaim the title that slipped away. Team Japan is looking for redemption after last season's disappointing showdown. Their team features a mix of new and returning competitors led by Ryo Matachi and Yusuke Morimoto, both of whom competed in last year's special. Additional team members include Kenji Takahashi, Masashi Hioki and Tomohiro Kawaguchi. All of these worthy competitors are veterans of "Sasuke," the Japanese version of "American Ninja Warrior."Please visit the official show site at: http://nbc.com/american-ninja-warrior
