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 wasn’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 didn’t attend. He’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 it’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 it’s like @moby323 and his stupid AC2

Yeah I’m really happy for Gentry. But I swear if I see one person who complains that he didn’t deserve it…

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

Full solo ham 4a was sooooo good. Didn’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.

Thanks for posting this! I was trying to find results but they didn’t post any on the WYYC website this year…

I just checked out the full results

Fun fact: This is the 2nd consecutive year Yuki had the highest tech score

I think everyone was really hyped for Nate’s fs because he didn’t make finals at Nats so it was his first 3 minute fs this year

I am stoked that Gentry won. He really is the reason I starting really learning to yoyo. The Shutter was my first real metal yoyo. The wide angle is one of my favorite throws. Absolutely the most versatile throw I own. So much so I just bought another the other day.

Congratulations Gentry!
