In the 5th relay there will be five preliminary rounds instead of seven with more athletes and more obstacles per preliminary round. The 20 best athletes will advance to the semifinals. If there are no female athletes among them, the two best women will also qualify for the semifinals.
For the two fastest athletes, there will be a new challenge at the end of the five preliminary shows: A direct duel at a height of more than 10 meters at the "Power Tower". The respective winners can look forward to a cash prize and direct qualification for the final. The "Mega Wall", which was introduced in 2019, will also be part of the event.
This year, the semifinals and finals will consist of two shows each. Of the minimum 100 athletes in the two semifinal shows, 50 will advance to the final. Previously, 28 athletes had always made it to the finals, so the chance of a winner is almost doubled.
In the first final show, a course with a time limit awaits these athletes. All athletes who complete the course in the specified time advance to final show 2, at the end of which, as always, is Mount Midoriyama. The athlete who conquers this final obstacle within the specified time wins the victory bonus of 300,000 euros and is crowned the first "Ninja Warrior Germany.
