Thanks, congrats Zach glad to see the title is still in the USA! Now to shop for a CLYW!
Anyone know what Yoyo he used?
Anthony’s freestyle was one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Worth the 5+ year wait for him to get back into finals. Kid’s an artist.
he used his new signature. It’s a prototype
^ What Adrian said. Here’s a pic:
Oooooo
Does that look similar to a bigger Glacier Express to anybody?
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the hub! The rims are a bit different though.
It’s got that same short, flat hub and that undercut h-shape thing.
The thing is I didn’t like it.
Now before you start to hate me. Lol.
Read this. When I watch a freestyle or a yoyo vid what I look for is wooohooo moments like you know awesome stuff that makes your jaw drop.
Now you’ll say but Zach was jaw dropping but to me it was not.
In fact when I was watching the live stream the 3 to 5 I watched in 1a I only watched takeshi full otherwise if the start is boring I stopped or paused it.
Like when I watch iori I want it to keep going because of that j d stuff.
And just to be sure I watched the Zach freestyle again I was like so eager stop it as I didn’t like it. But just in between the performance I saw those j d moments and I thought now this is good but then it again got boring.
J d. Is jaw dropping. Lol.
Zach’s performance was really entertaining and a pleasure to watch.
Zach was so good. omg
It really was like a dance
Has anyone found full results with scores, etc? I’ve looked everywhere. They’re not on the official site or facebook.
EDIT: Nevermind, looks like the official site finally posted them.
Full results for all divisions: Zach Gormley wins the 2015 World Yo-yo Contest! Full results and commentary!
I love how competitive the WYYC actually is. The results all come down to the freestyle on the day, with discards and the slightest mistakes completely shifting the results. Keeps things exciting since you can never guarantee who’s going to win, even the best can have a bad freestyle. What a contest.
Who won in the women’s division? I didn’t see that in the YoyoNews article.
That says - Ann Connolly (Czech Republic)
Isn’t she from the U.S.?
She lives in the Czech Republic now as she’s studying there (#nostalker). I’m not quite sure how that qualifies her to represent the Czechs in the contest though. Maybe that’s what she put in the “country” box when registering… :-X
why does no one mention jake Elliot… that was amazing he raised his hands in triumph cause he knew he had beat takeshi…
