It sounds like the American dream come true: last night 33-year-old rock climber Isaac Caldiero shot to fame in the USA by becoming the first American to win the NBC summer reality competition series American Ninja Warrior. In the previous 6 seasons of the show no competitor had ever got past stage 3 but in Monday's three-hour season finale something occurred that had never happened before: two climbers qualified for Stage 4, Caldiero and 36-year-old Geoff Britten.
Demonstrating incredible upper body strength and superb hand-eye coordination both completed the course and the 75 foot rope climb, but although Britten did so first, Caldiero won the grand prize having climbed 3.6 seconds faster.
