Will Barrington’s ‘Ninja Warrior’ triumph on NBC tonight? (Jamie Rahn also featured in Inquirer report, opening Cherry Hill facility)
Barrington’s Jamie Rahn, 25, will challenge his impressive physical skills against the “American Ninja Warrior” finals course Stage 2 when the show is broadcast at 9 tonight on NBC or next Monday. Rahn said he’s not certain which day his next attempt will air.
Jamie Rahn of Barrington — before giving up the body paint and name ‘Captain NBC.’
In the pre-recorded program broadcast last week, Rahn retired his “Captain NBC” moniker — but kept his yellow-green dyed hair — while roaring past the Stage 1 of the national finals in the grueling obstacle course competition.
Rahn, who grew up in Cherry Hill before moving to Barrington, recently was featured in a piece in the Philadelphia Inquirer:
“Even without his signature superhero regalia and Gatorade-hued hairdo, Jamie Rahn is a colorful guy.
“A Barrington resident, 25, he’s launching a career out of his success as a costumed contestant on ‘American Ninja Warrior,’ NBC’s extreme-sports extravaganza. …
“But other challenges face the affable athlete, artist, children’s entertainer, and physical-therapy aide. With his business partner (and fellow ‘ANW’ alum) Phillip Pirollo, Rahn is building a gym that will focus on the energetic French movement discipline called parkour.”

According to Rahn’s Facebook page, the Pinnacle Parkour Academy in Cherry Hill will have its grand opening from 2 to 6 p.m. Oct. 13.
