As opposed to only two competitors fell on it during Daytona Beach finals, 6 competitors fell on this obstacle during Philadelphia finals: Mike Bernardo, Cody Coppola, Darion Bennett, Christian DeRubeis, Shawn Johnson, and Paul Rugerri III. However, this instance occurred because Angela Gargano, who was one of the 5 female competitors completed the Wingnuts, had to withdraw from the competition due to her injuring her ACL from the dismount.ĭuring Philadelphia finals, the obstacle eliminated more competitors than during Daytona Beach finals on the previous season. However, this obstacle was once again served as the cut-off for the top 5 female competitors to advance to Philadelphia finals, as McKinley Pierce (who failed the obstacle in qualifying) landed in the womens' top 5 in the 5th and final spot. Likely due to its placement as the fourth obstacle, the obstacle did much less damage than during Daytona Beach qualifiers on the previous season, as only 14 competitors fell on this obstacle during Philadelphia qualifiers, including Daniel Eiskant, Annika Nieshalla, and Josh Shriber.Ī total of 5 female competitors were able to complete the obstacle. Both obstacles were coincidentally used in the Daytona Beach course on the previous season. The obstacle remained the same from the previous season, except it was being moved a position forward to the fourth obstacle, after the Broken Bridge.
