AMERICAN Ninja Warrior sees competitive contestants go head to head on intricate obstacle courses.

Teenager Katie Bone has gained traction online after winning American Ninja Warrior's women's championship, and now fans are eager to learn more about her.

Katie Bone is a 17-year-old athlete and high school student from Bernalillo, New Mexico.

Bone is widely recognized for her involvement in the NBC hit show, American Ninja Warrior.

In 2020, Bone competed in American Ninja Warrior Junior before participating in season 14 of the original series.

Throughout the season, her determination and strength landed her a spot in the show's national finals.

Bone concluded her participation during the season during stage one of the national finals when she fell on the fourth obstacle.

However, Bone was later called back to compete at the Women's Championship, which aired in late May 2023.

On May 29, 2023, fans saw Katie Bone take home the winning title and $50,000 cash prize after competing against 12 women.

Aside from being an American Ninja Warrior championship winner, Bone has been candid throughout the season about her battle with Type 1 diabetes.

She was diagnosed at 11 years old and has chosen to take her diagnosis and use it to raise awareness.

During the competition, Bone said: "Being a competitive athlete with Type 1 is not easy. I’m fighting my body every single day.

"I hope I inspire a little kid to wear their pump on their arm. It makes everything that you do that more amazing."

Katie Bone will not compete in the next season of American Ninja Warrior.

Bone competed in the USA National Women's Team Climbing trials for the Olympics in February 2023, however, she tore her ACL and was unable to participate.

Recalling the incident, her mother Tammy Bone said: "Katie heard four pops. She tore her ACL and both sides of her meniscus.

"This was a moment she was preparing for all her life and it got put on pause... Now it's come to a point where we will do anything to help her heal stronger."

Katie, fortunately, had surgery and is now focused on her recovery.

Though she may have taken a step back, she is still focused on reaching her goals.

"I don't need easy, I just need possible," Bone said.

American Ninja Warrior takes applications each year to select who will be on the upcoming seasons of the show.

According to the American Ninja Warrior casting website, contestants have to ensure they meet the requirements before applying.

These requirements include:
