[countdown clock beeping]
Well, her runs last year went viral.
Something like 80 million views.
- Oh, Matt, I can tell you right now,
I am super excited for this run.
- And as fast as we've seen anyone
get through the Floating Steps.
- You got it, Jess. You got it!
- But it is gonna be tough
to top what she did last year.
- And what I love about Jessie Graff,
she hasn't let the celebrity status,
the success, get to her.
Look at her, tucking it, and loving it--
Look at Spider Woman get right back-up.
So locked in.
- Well, she's the first woman to finish stage 1 in Vegas,
and then a few weeks ago,
in USA versus the world, she even finished stage 2.
But right now, it's the Wingnuts.
We know she had that pole vaulting background
from the University of Nebraska.
Near Olympic-caliber.
- Look, you gotta have ocular discipline here.
See where you're going. Both: Ooh!
- Got it. Hold on, Jessie.
- The Wingnuts have been a Ninja killer tonight.
Even seen it take out some top veterans,
and Jessie's never seen this before.
- And there's nothing that really rattles her,
look at this, I mean, a brand new obstacle here,
and this doesn't rattle her. Nice!
- So smooth.
That power out of Jessie Graff,
she's a strong as any athlete out here.
- Wow. - So good.
- At this point in the night, her time is fast enough
that if she can get through the Broken Bridge,
she'll be guaranteed a spot in the top 30.
But she said, balance obstacles are always a tossup.
- She's a stunt woman.
So, if she gets in a sticky situation,
she has the ability to leap
and get outta there. - Yes! Perfect!
And Jessie Graff is going to the city finals once again,
but you know she wants to hit that buzzer.
Unfortunately, a big road block
in front of her, Rolling Thunder.
- Jessie, you got this, quick movements.
- Well, we know she has power,
but only 130 pounds.
- Come on, Jess! - This is a beast.
This is a monster. If she can use all that power.
Look at that, look at that,
keep the tempo there. Keep the tempo.
- Such strength out of Jessie Graff.
- Gosh, where does she get that from?
I see it. I see you, girl. Work it.
Wow, look, she get it from her mama.
- Wow, Ginny MccColl's has got to be impressed.
- Okay, this is kind of where
we've seen people go out here, Matt.
- Well you can see that long reach because of the Plexiglas.
Even Jessie Graff has her limits.
Come on! - Come on, Jessie.
Pull that thing. - Still fighting.
- She's been on there for 30 seconds now.
- But look at that.
- Come on, Jessie!
- And another long reach, and she's got it.
- Come on, come on Jessie.
- You can see the fatigue setting in.
- Whoo! Come on, Jessie!
- She's been on here almost a minute, Matt.
We've never seen anyone on here longer than a minute make it.
My goodness. - Still finds it.
- My goodness, she-- - Continuing.
Over a minute-- both: No!
- No!
- Jessie Graff finds her limit.
But it's good enough to get her to the top 30.
She's moving on to the city finals.
- She was close. another couple of feet
and she would have easily dismounted.
But she was hanging by her hands
for more than a minute,
and you could see that grip giving out.
But, she'll get another shot at this in the city finals.
