How old is Kaden? Fans praise American Ninja Warrior Season 14 winner who took home a $100,000 cash prize

This week, in American Ninja Warrior Season 14, five contestants made it to stage 3, an event that had never occurred before. If that wasn't exciting enough, 16-year-old Kaden powered through stage 4 and walked with $100,000 and the title of the last ninja standing.

During Season 13 of American Ninja Warrior, Kaden was the only contestant to make it to stage four. Although he could not complete the task in less than 30 seconds, Kaden received the title of "Last Man Standing." Besides that, Kaden was also the youngest contestant to make it this far in the competition.

Although Kaden might not have won $1 million, he walked away with $100,000. The task Kaden had to power through was a stage four tower. Kaden's timing was similar to Josh Levin's, but he beat the clock.

Fans who witnessed Kaden's brilliant victory took to social media to congratulate him on his win.

Kaden conquered the stage 4 course for the second time in a row in American Ninja Warrior

Kaden was the final contestant of the night. His family and friends cheered him on from the sidelines. In such a short time, at 16, Kaden is already making history. Kaden has become the first athlete ever to take on stage 4 twice.

Before taking on stage four, Kaden had to cruise through stage 3, which he managed to achieve easily. Kaden emerged victorious and advanced to the next round by clocking the fastest time of the night, wherein he completed stage 3 in just 04:37.

For the stage 4 course, Kaden had to power through and climb up a rope to the top and stop the clock. Kaden put all his energy and force onto the rope when he started. It looked more like he was running rather than climbing the rope. Sadly towards the end, his arm gave up, but the American Ninja Warrior star was adamant about reaching the top.

With seconds left on the clock for Kaden to win $1 million, he still had a few more meters to reach the top. Luckily for him, even after his time ran out, he had the opportunity to beat Josh's time limit. Ultimately, Kaden beat Josh and won the title.

Kaden hails from Castle Rock, Colorado, and he trains with Ethan Swanson and Jake Murray, his competitors. Before appearing on American Ninja Warrior, Kaden first appeared in American Ninja Warrior Junior 2. Kaden later competed in the second qualifying round in Season 13 of the series. He also put up one of the most impeccable runs that entire season. He was also one of the seven people to cross the V formation.
