'Ultimate Ninja' was part of the Ocho earlier: it's obstacle racing, which is trying to get Olympic attention as part of the new-look modern pentathlon. Because of Ninja Warrior's influence 'ninja' is just a basic word in the sport now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPgjKYBCquA
Big difference here, a single failure doesn't mean you're done. Unlike a TV show, they don't want to leave the outcome up to the order in which they happen to present the obstacles to you.

Catching up on overnight Ocho happenings, which is getting towards wrapping up, and among the overnight events was sign spinning.
At the 'championship' level, honestly, it becomes less "sign spinning" and more "rhythmic gymnastics with a sign apparatus". This would not look out of place in a bonafide rhythmic gymnastics competition. (Aside from the fact that rhythmic gymnastics is women-only at international level.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiD5xe0kuMg

Electric scooter racing now... and let me tell you, electric scooters can get surprisingly zoomy. Also they have a push-to-pass mechanic ala IndyCar.
-
What we can see from the Crossnet game they're showing is, if square 4 can't hold the line, you can go a long while with no points going on the board.... but if square 4 can defend, they can run off and hide in a hurry. Nothing happens until it happens all at once.
Also it's in the Ocho subgenre of 'games invented so they can sell it to you at your local retailer'.

Crossnet now. It's four-square volleyball. The way it works, there's four numbered squares, only the team in square 4 is able to accumulate points... and they even say, it makes for an obvious core strategy: if you're not in square 4, target square 4. (After every point, the team that lost the point comes off the court, and everyone else rotates toward square 4.)

Meanwhile on ESPN8: The Ocho - It’s the USA Dodgeball Showcase, featuring a battle between Stars and Stripes!!!!!!!
-
Now on ESPN8: The Ocho - CORGI RACE FROM EMERALD DOWNS!!!!!!!!!

Beer stein holding. Actually a strongman event when done at a higher level, but there's really not too much to it. Here's a beer stein, hold it out in front of you.
Pictured: the basic concept when done in World's Strongest Man.

Next up on the Ocho is footgolf.
It's golf. On a golf course. But you have a soccer ball, appropriately enlarged holes, you have only two clubs and they're both underneath your naughty bits.
-
Now on ESPN8: The Ocho - it’s the Pillow Fight Chanpionship.
It’s more intense than boxing, as some would say.
-
Wrapping up the cornhole segment, and we're about to move on to 'Viii Sports'... which is 8 sports in a kind of obstacle race-type thing: golf, softball, tennis, basketball, football, soccer, 'strength', and 'speed'. Points are scored for each element (max of 6 possible per sport) as well as time taken to get through the lot (2 possible bonus points here), total of 50 points on offer.
It's kinda a lot. Obstacle course-type things are always a pain to try and explain.
-
Now on ESPN8: The Ocho - It’s a big cornhole action, the ACL SuperHole IV Championship.
Who will take the crown tonight?
-
Now on ESPN8: The Ocho - Big Major League Table Tennis action between Team David vs Team Joannie.
-
Table tennis is a weird fit for the Ocho. This is literally an Olympic sport.
-
Now on ESPN8: The Ocho - Its a fun and fast paced Wiffleball action between Team Red vs Team Blue.
-
Wiffleball gets 2 hours of Ocho time next up.
If you haven't seen elite-tier wiffleball I implore you to check it out. A wiffleball in the right hands is physics gone wrong.
