'American Ninja Warrior' 2014: Meet The Contestants Of 'USA Vs. The World' [VIDEO]

The city finals of NBC's "American Ninja Warrior" are over and it's on to the Las Vegas finals to name a champion. One hundred contestants from the Denver, Miami, St. Louis, Venice, and Dallas city finals will compete for the title of "American Ninja Warrior" starting on August 18th. However, that will not quite be the end of the action this season. NBC announced in a press release its second annual "American Ninja Warrior: USA Vs. The World" competition. The three-hour special will act as the series' season finale and will air Sept. 15, at 8 p.m EDT.

"USA Vs. The World" pits five of the very best "American Ninja Warrior" contestants from the Las Vegas finals of past seasons against a team from Japan (consisting of contestants from the Japanes show, "Sasuke," that was the basis for "American Ninja Warrior") and a team from Europe. The teams will compete against each other on the challenging Las Vegas course in a head-to-head format.
