When I finally achieved getting a yoyo to return to my hand consistently, I was rather proud of myself. If I had attempted anything like this, I would have hit myself in the face a couple of times and ended up with a ball of permanently tangled string binding my fingers, all in less than 30 seconds. This is Hajime Miura (previously at Neatorama) performing in the 3A event at the World YoYo Contest held in Prague, Czech Republic, last week. If you have a hard time following his moves, you can listen to the crowd full of yoyo fans to tell which moves are most impressive.
Yeah, he won. It's not the first time, either. Miura has now won his eighth world championship- and he's only 22 years old! This year's performance is kind of a comeback for Miura, who placed fourth in the category last year. He won both the 3A and 4A championship in 2018. Yoyo enthusiasts have been following Miura since he started winning competitions as a child, back in 2012. -via Memo of the Air
