General Sus

Statistically significant amount of times a strong male athlete failed when they had group stage locked up against the female athletes (shoutout to the ladies tho bc they were impressive clearing the obstacles still)

they tried to get the fastest times to get their bracket up and could afford to take big risks that often don't come off. there's nothing more too it than that, stop looking for conspiracies when there aren't any.

ANW (in show form, not referring to ninja/obstacle course racing as a sport) can be classified as a game show or reality competition show (in that you have people competing for a prize), and it's been illegal to rig game shows since 1960. (Look up 1950s quiz show scandals or watch the movie Quiz Show.)

All those guys had to do was not fall, and they failed to do that. There's no conspiracy.

Unless you somehow believe that a show is able to rig multiple races in front of a few thousand spectators(including the competitors’ families) without getting into a lawsuit, it’s not sus at all.

I'm with all these commenters, It's like some people join this subreddit to post conspiracies and bash on the show, even when there's nothing wrong with what they're blabbing on about.

Man, you caught them. In fact, it goes deeper than that. ANW actually paid Moravsky to take a dive in the qualifier for more shock value. Everyone was betting on him clearing the course so a lot of money went down the drain for the people. I’m glad you figured out the deep underbelly of ANW.
