> [@Philip](#): > > it seems cheap that yusuke got to redo his freestyle. The announcer’s premature cutting in was pretty close to the end of the freestyle, and it didn’t even affect him much.

I personally disagree, it’s already clearly written in the rule that he can redo it, so he can for whatever reason, period. Basically you can do anything to win as long as you don’t cross the rule, this applies with pretty much anything competitive. It will be cheap if he is against the rule but the judges still allow it, otherwise it’s fair. This is the reason why competition rules are and must be written in detail. ---

I’m in a weird situation. I’m currently on holiday in a place that has such slow internet, that it struggles to load webpages. …So I find myself in the situation of knowing the results, without seeing a single one of the final freestyles, nor will I be able to until I get back next week. 😛 Dang. Still, HOORAY FOR ZACH! Quoting myself: > [@](#): > > 1A - Personally, as much as I’d love to see Vashek Kroutil take the crown, I’m backing Zach Gormley for the win. I think he deserves it for the sheer visual appear and innovation of his tricks and performance style… and since every freestyle he does it even better than the last, I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us this year. So I’m 100% happy with the result. Zach is on a whole 'nother level and it’s about time that he had that trophy in his hands. As far as I’m personally concerned, he’s the greatest 1A yoyoer to ever walk the earth. Good job Zach. If I ever meet you, I’m buying you a drink. ;D Also… WHAT A GREAT CONTEST! I tell you what, signing up to Instagram before this contest was such a great move. I felt like I was there, seeing all the backstage action, getting all the gossip and seeing all the results as and when they became apparent. Even though I wasn’t actually there, I’ve never felt ‘part’ of a contest as much as I did this year. I tell you, next time it’s in Tokyo, it’ll take nothing short of the grim reaper himself to stop me being there. 😛 … and winning. #worldsgoals2018 ---
