Steve Seiver almost didn’t make it in time to check in as a competitor for the eighth season of “American Ninja Warrior.” He was in L.A., fighting his way through traffic, and running very late. ” I was freaking out,” he said Tuesday. “It was crazy. I made it there literally as they were starting.” The Coeur d’Alene personal trainer, Idaho Fence fabricator and yogi became used to life in the fast lane as a part of his training for “American Ninja Warrior,” an obstacle course challenge show where competitors test their strength and endurance to win $1 million. Seiver competed at the regional competition in L.A. in April. He will appear on the season eight premiere on NBC (Wednesday night). A viewing party will be held at Crickets Restaurant and Oyster Bar, where Seiver will be giving out samples from Patriot Supplements and sharing his big night with anyone who wants to attend/ Devin Heilman , Coeur d’Alene Press.
