My bad! Gentry is 1A World Champion. Guess Betty is Womenā€™s Division world champion?

US I would actually say is stronger than Japan in 1A but at this point only Alex is really world class in any of the X divisions.

I was rooting for Gentry tbh. Cool to see YYF go 3/4 for 1A but not surprising.

Great to see Gentry back on the podium, last year wasnā€™t too great for him but this year was an awesome comeback.

Who I really wanted to see was Korean champion Oh Jiho but he didnā€™t attend. Heā€™s a little more sloppy than most players but I think his tricks are the closest thing to challenging Hajime. If he had a clean routine itā€™d definitely be at least a threat to dethrone Hajime.

ik nobody cares about 3a im sorry i just need to pretend somebody cares ok itā€™s like @moby323 and his stupid AC2

Yeah I expected top 3 at the very least for Nate.

Full solo ham 4a was sooooo good. Didnā€™t score well, but that was my favorite freestyle of all 4 days.

I saw the scorecard. Top 3 was obviously very close, but nate was like 5 points behind that, which is insane.
