Jonathan Horton is just 5’1 which is a serious problem for any contestant on “American Ninja Warrior” who actually hopes to complete the course. Good thing for him that he’s a two-time Olympic medalist in gymnastics which makes him just about the ideal candidate on the show.
Despite barely being five feet tall, Horton absolutely dominated the course. He downright looked like Tarzan with shorts swinging from obstacle-to-obstacle until he met the warped wall. And even then he only needed two tries to scale a 15.5 foot wall. That means he ran vertically up a wall over three times his size.
Keep an eye on this one, because I’m putting my money on him to take it all.
