Jonathan Horton just missed out on advancing on NBC's American Ninja Warrior, finishing 16th when the top 15 moved on.

If ur wondering. I ended up 16th missing the finals by one spot. I've always said my failures are the most important moments. @ninjawarrior

He easily made it past the warped wall and salmon wall but ran into trouble at the walking bar and came splashing down. Horton Tweeted about that particular obstacle as well:

I took my time and I wasn't even gassed. Still got beat by that stupid thing. Trickiest obstacle I have seen this season. @ninjawarrior

Horton is only 5' 1" and while his height may put him at a disadvantage, he has the strength and body control to make up for it. We may see him attempt to qualify in the future, but until then, he will have his plate full with gymnastics. Horton will be competing in August at the 2015 P&G Championships and will be aiming to make the 2016 Rio Olympic team.
