Jessie Graff Makes History, Continues to Dominate 'American Ninja Warrior'

In a sport that is almost entirely comprised of men, Jessie Graff has announced her presence of authority on American Ninja Warrior. Just to be clear, the stuntwoman from Calabasas, California, isn't just hanging with the guys in the competition - she's beating most of them. Graff became the first woman to advance beyond Stage One of the National Finals, ever. She made it to stage one last year, but could not make it up the Warped Wall obstacle. So during the off season she focused on developing her leg strength and it paid off, as she seemed to be completely in control throughout her run. Graff has drawn international fame as the result of her performance. It also doesn't hurt that she is a statuesque blonde who typically dresses like Wonder Woman (this time she went with Green Lantern). But it takes a lot more than looks to get as far as she has. Graff was only one of a handful of competitors to even complete the course, as she finished fourth. She has looked unstoppable throughout the 2016 season and at this point her potential appears limitless. American Ninja Warrior airs Mondays at 8pm on NBC.
