Oklahoma City hosted the fourth round of American Ninja Warrior finals, which aired on Monday night. As with the Atlanta city finals, no women made it through the qualifying round.However, the region had some impressive women in its ranks. Sometimes all that keeps competitors from completing a course is a single tricky obstacle, and in Oklahoma City, that obstacle was the Log Runner.The third obstacle continued to give ninjas problems Monday night, taking out six competitors. It has also knocked out many of the women competing, including returning ninja and obstacle course racer Rose Wetzel.We were watching people go down, down, down, Wetzel said in a phone interview with espnW. No matter how great of an athlete someone is, if theres a ninja-killer, it doesnt discriminate.Wetzel is a fierce competitor. She is the second-ranked Spartan racer in her age group and has competed on two seasons of American Ninja Warrior. She also participated in the first episode of Team Ninja Warrior.Ive done so many sports activities, and theres something magical about American Ninja Warrior, Wetzel said.Wetzel is one of the female ninjas to get her start in the sport after the record-shattering sixth season in which three women completed the warped wall and Kacy Catanzaro finished the Dallas city finals course.Catanzaro is still the only woman to finish a city finals course. In each of her first two seasons, Wetzel competed in the same region as Catanzaro, which she says is important to her as a competitor.She has more pressure than anyone I know in that sport, Wetzel said. She continues to inspire me and I know she continues to inspire other people. Even if she were to never hit another buzzer for some crazy reason, she is a symbol of doing the impossible. That will never change. She broke that ceiling for us all and gave us permission to really go for it.Wetzel appreciates her athletic success. The rainbow tights she wears are a reflection of that. For many ninja competitors, their outfits are important to them, either so they can be identified easily or so they can raise awareness about a cause. Wetzel has loved ones that have struggled with various physical and mental ailments, so she chose to recognize them by wearing rainbow, which she says reflects all the colors of the ribbons for various causes.Im really grateful for this window of time, which I hope is a really long one, Wetzel said.Oklahoma City finals specs:Finishers: 2Female finishers: 0Women moving on: 0New or modified obstacles on second half of course: 1 out of 4The course:Were into city final episodes, where the first six obstacles remain the same as in each of the city qualifiers (except for a couple of tweaks). In city finals, the course builders added four obstacles on the second portion of the course (which well review below), bringing the total number of obstacles to 10.The first obstacle on the second part of each city finals course so far (i.e., the seventh obstacle overall) is the Salmon Ladder. Ninjas hang from a bar and must propel themselves upward to jump the bar up a series of rungs.Bungee Road returns from season seven as the eighth obstacle. Using their upper body, ninjas transition through a series of bungees before leaping onto a horizontal cylinder. From the cylinder, they swing to the next platform.The ninth obstacle is all new, and quite a doozy! The Window Hang requires ninjas to grip a ledge with only their fingers on either side of a window. They must maneuver between the five windows by reaching or doing a lache, or jump between them.The Invisible Ladder returns as the 10th obstacle. So far, thats been the case on each city finals course. Ninjas grab rings suspended from a hole in a platform and pull. When their movement stops, the ring catches their weight so that it looks like they are pulling themselves up a ladder, through the hole at the top of the finishing platform.Looking forward:After a two-week hiatus, our next ninja fix will be from Philadelphia. The Philly city finals promise to not disappoint, with four women getting their opportunity to test the course. Thats the most women to ever run a finals course in one city. Someones gotta make it to Vegas, right? Chris Taylor Jersey .

Norv Turner will mark his 30th year of coaching in the NFL as the offensive co-ordinator, as widely reported for weeks, and George Edwards will be the defensive co-ordinator. Corey Seager Jersey . The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book. South Africa 5 for 171 (Amla 47, Starc 3-49) lead Australia 85 (Smith 48*, Philander 5-21, Abbott 3-41) by 86 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsAustralia have become used to humiliating collapses in recent years. There was 47 all out in Cape Town in 2011. There was 60 all out in Nottingham last year. But, at least those debacles occurred halfway around the world, not in front of a home crowd. On the first day in Hobart, Australia found a new way to embarrass themselves, folding for 85 against South Africa, lasting only 32.5 overs as Vernon Philander led the perfect bowling display for the conditions.Only one other time in the post-war era had Australia survived so few deliveries in a Test innings at home. That was in 1984, against Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner and Michael Holding at the WACA of old, mitigating circumstances if ever there were. The innings was over so quickly on that occasion that Courtney Walsh, on debut, didnt even get a bowl. In any case, Australias captain Kim Hughes lasted only one more Test before resigning in tears.Such context is important in understanding just how disastrous Australias performance truly was on the first day in Hobart. Steven Smith was the only batsman capable of fighting, and he finished unbeaten on 48. Only one other man reached double figures: the debutant Joe Mennie, a bowler who came in at No.8 and struck a couple of boundaries in reaching 10. Australias scorecard featured more single figures than a dating website.But to focus entirely on Australias batting is to unfairly devalue the efforts of South Africas bowlers and fielders. Faf du Plessis won the toss and sent Australia in - Smith conceded he would also have fielded if he had the choice - and although there was cloud overhead and moisture in the pitch, the bowlers still needed to make the most of those advantages. With Philander their leader, they did that most brilliantly.The ball moved off the seam, sharply at times, and it swung, and South Africas bowlers found the perfect lengths and lines to make Australias batsmen play. Philander finished with 5 for 21, remarkable considering he left the field mid-innings with what appeared at the time to be a nasty shoulder injury, and Kyle Abbott picked up 3 for 41. The catching and throwing - a direct hit from 12th man Dane Vilas especially - backed up the bowlers.By stumps, Australias bowlers had tried to fight back as best they could. Mitchell Starc was briefly at his fearsome best in a post-tea spell that brought him three wickets in 10 balls, and Josh Hazlewood backed him up with two breakthroughs, but Australias miserable batting meant they had still given up a significant advantage by stumps. South Africa finished the day on 5 for 171 and were 86 runs in front, with Temba Bavuma on 38 and Quinton de Kock on 28. Their partnership had reached 39, which meant that South Africa had already managed four stands of greater value than any put up by an Australian pair earlier in the day. Heavy falls had been expected in Hobart on Saturday, but it turned out to be wickets rather than rain.dddddddddddd And it all began early, with both of Australias openers back in the dressing room by the end of the second over of the match.In the first over, David Warner flashed wildly and widely outside off and edged Philander behind. In the second over, the recalled Joe Burns was lbw to an Abbott delivery that jagged back so sharply, it was as if Abbott was bowling fast offspin. In the ninth over, Philander had Usman Khawaja caught at slip from another seamer, and next ball, he drew Adam Voges forward and nipped one away, which was edged behind to Quinton de Kock for a golden duck.Australia were 4 for 8, which was their lowest four-down total in a Test innings for nearly 80 years. It was into this environment that debutant Callum Ferguson walked, needing also to survive his first ball in Test cricket in order to prevent a Philander hat-trick. He did that, but the chaos was far from over.Ferguson was run out for 3 when he pushed Abbott through backward point, where Vilas misfielded. Ferguson came back for a second run but his dive was beaten by a stunning direct hit from the recovering Vilas, who had only been on the field for three balls after Philander left with a shoulder injury. Philander, who had 3 for 3 at the time, had collided painfully with Smith, but was able to return after lunch to help run through Australias tail.Australia lost a sixth wicket before lunch when Peter Nevill was lbw to Kagiso Rabada, and they went to the break on 6 for 43. After lunch, Philander bowled Mennie, before Abbott had both Starc and Hazlewood caught in the cordon, Hazlewood to a brilliant take by the diving Hashim Amla. Australias humiliation - and Philanders five-for - was complete when Nathan Lyon edged behind for 2. Nobody had managed to stick around with Smith for any significant stay. He didnt even have time for a fifty.If Australia hoped the conditions would make life equally difficult for South Africas top order, they were to be initially disappointed. By tea, South Africas openers had moved to 43 without loss, but after the resumption, Starc found a little of his best as a searing yorker trapped Dean Elgar lbw for 17 with the first ball of the session. Later that over, Starc also had Stephen Cook caught behind for 23, and in his next over, JP Duminy edged to slip on 1.But South Africa moved along to 76 before losing a fourth wicket - du Plessis lbw for 7 to a Hazlewood delivery that seamed in - and all the while, Amla was frustrating Australia at the other end. Amla compiled 47 and put on 56 for the fifth wicket with Bavuma, before he edged behind off Hazlewood.It meant 15 wickets had fallen in the day, although Australia lost twice as many as South Africa. And by stumps, South Africa had scored more than twice as many runs as Australia. As far as humiliations go, this day was right up there for Australia. Or, perhaps more accurately, down there. ' ' '
