Well for me it prolly has to do with actually being there, but 2005 world yoyo contest Augie Fash. He came in 5th place. But has always been one of my favorites. When he landed in his hat then flipped the hat and still landed a trapeze the whole place went nuts.

1. evan nagao 2019, better than 2018 imo 2. hajime 3a,4a 2018, groundbreaking winning 2 divisions in one year. honorable mention, Shion araya 2017 for me ---

Marcus Koh is definitely up there. Gentry 2014 is too, after defeating Takeshi despite being several points lower in the technical execution category. People really started taking another look at the performance evaluation points after that. ---
