Cameron Baumgartner is a student, a gymnast, a wrestler, a coach, and a top participant in Ninja competitions… From his first foray in the sport only 2 years ago, he has quickly risen to the peak level of competition, and has now taken part in two seasons of NBC’s American Ninja Warrior.
For those who don’t know what that means, being an American Ninja Warrior has nothing to do with shooting blow darts in the dead of night, having kung fu fights on moonlit rooftops, or committing even mild espionage. These Ninjas are incredible athletes who combine the physical strength and explosive power of a hungry lion, with the speed, agility, and grace of a flying squirrel. Their goal is to overcome a set of insane obstacles in their path, and to do it faster than their opponents…
Cameron makes these obstacles look too easy. Maybe it’s because from a young age, he was trained by fate to overcome obstacles set in his path. Maybe it’s the incredible support of his family that helped him get to where he is now, or maybe he was driven by some kind of inner force that propelled him over and above what even he thought he could achieve.
I suspect that heaps of intense training and long hours at the gym have something to do with it too. We’ll find out today on This Amazing Story.
