According to Sasukepedia, Stratis has been trying to get on SASUKE since the original American Ninja Challenge in 2007. He placed 25th in the preliminary round of American Ninja Warrior 2. He won the semi-finals on American Ninja Warrior 3 and qualified for SASUKE 27. On ANW5 he “shockingly failed the Jumping Spider in the First Stage.” On ANW6 in Miami, he lost his grip on the Metal Spin. American Ninja Warrior airs Mondays at 8pm on NBC.
