This year’s Asia Pacific Yo-yo Championship marked the 10th anniversary of the contest. The idea of a multi-national event was new back then, and we’re thrilled to see it bigger and better every year!

We have some results and freestyle videos, courtesy of C3yoyodesign!

Many had been wondering if Ahmad Kharisma’s win over Hiroyuki Suzuki and Christopher last year was an exception to the norm, but the Indonesian star proved he is among the best on the planet, and a contender for this year’s World Yo-yo Contest! Second place went to Iori Yamaki, with Hiroyuki Suzuki finishing third.

In 2A, Shinji Saito showed us he’s still very much the god of 2A, winning the old-schooler battle and finishing ahead of Hiraku Fujii and Liu Man Ki.

If 2A was all about veteran players, 3A gave us a glimpse of a very bright future, with Hajime Miura displaying an unbelievable level of control on stage!

Jeon Ji-Hwan won the 4A division with his usual flashy style, beating Chan Chun Hin and Sean Hung to take the title.

Finally, in 5A, Jaued Cervas, from the Philippines, beat Teeny Kai Zhang and Naoya Takeuchi to bring home the trophy!
