National champ and World champ since that throw came out. Gentry in his prime, with the right equipment! A U.S.A champ, and a Fact’ry champ whoa! ---

I’m not gonna lie I’m a little surprised. He was on my radar of people I thought could win but he wasn’t very high up. Still happy for him though, Americans hold our ground one more year with another worlds victory! Shutter is going to boom even more now, as if it didn’t already have enough attention 😃 ---

I have to be honest, Japan was winning so much, that I didn’t want to see a sweep for the top spots.

When the announcer said, “From the U.S.A.” I wished he said “From the United States of America,” to drag it out a little longer, even if by a second. Somehow, you want that moment to last. 😃 Tessa represented for the women, she got tops for that. ;D ---

Maybe I can convince my parents to get me a CZM8 So that’s where the great news came from. ;D A perfect way to celebrate. I think this Prague contest renewed a lot of players’ energy. U.S.A. player gets the top prize in 1A, for the first time in 7 years, in Prague. Nice job Gentry!
