Making a Yoyo Activity Book - Need names of famous yoyoers!

Yo!
I decided to put together a Yoyo Activity book. You know, word searches, crosswords, trivia, riddles, that sort of thing. Another fun way to engage potential new yoyoers.

I need help brainstorming some history to work in. Starting with a list of famous yoyoers pre-1990’s then working forward. I can find world champions easily enough, but I’m struggling looking for names from previous eras.

There are so many, but I figure I’ll get what I can. Competitors, demonstrators, makers, teachers, etc

Obviously we start with Donald Duncan and Pedro Florez. Can’t forget a Canadian won the first world yoyo contest, Harvey Lowe

The link below takes you to a spreadsheet with 4 tabs at the bottom. You can comment on this post if that’s easier, but feel free to go in and add as many names as you want. If you are able, add what each person did. I figure I’ll scatter trivia and history facts throughout the book.

Click here for the spreadsheet, add as much as you can think of!
