Ninja Warrior aired from 2009 to 2010 in DSF (now SPORT1 ).

Those who succeed, then come back separately, one after the second course of, etc. A candidate is rejected when it touches the water in some cases appearing amongst obstacles ( Stage 1-3), or if he does not succeed, a course in the allotted time ( Stage 1, 2 and 4; Stage 3 has no timing ) to be completed. The clock does not stop automatically, but only when the candidate stops the clock at the end of the course of a button. Creates a non- candidate to complete a course accordingly, it can not join again in the next program; thereby leaving it to the candidates if and how often they participate again in the mission.
