YoYoFactory has a history that goes back almost as far as modern yoyoing in Russia. In 2007 we sent the first international Pros into Russia for more than a decade. We have watched, and supported the growth of one of the youngest and most active YoYo scenes on the planet. YoYo in Russia is no longer a new novelty, it is a real sport. This is our Team.

Fedor Karpenko gives us a great single shot / single throw video featuring the CLYW Cliff.
Maria Nechiporenko for YYF Russia
Maria Nechiporenko, from YoYoFactory’s Russian Junior Team, just dropped this new video that has us really excited to see how her play style develops. She definitely has a lot of potential and the beginnings of some really fluid trick presentation. YoYoFactory has always been gifted at spotting the rising talent, and they’re keeping the streak going with Maria.
RYYC 2012 – With Style
Here’s a fun clip video from the 2012 Russian National YoYo Contest. The talent in Russia is solid, and I can’t wait to see them start taking world titles. I’m betting that with Prague angling to become the host of the largest and most prestigious yoyo contests in the world, we’ll see a heavy Russian contingent competing at the much discussed “Worlds13” in Prague this August.

Victor Gravitsky wins Russian Yo-yo Contest!
Team YoyoFactory Russia’s Victor Gravitsky maintained his 1A dominance in Russia and scored yet another title in Moscow yesterday. The ever-growing Russian scene held its 6th national contest over the weekend, including a strong open international division.
In 1A, right behind champion Gravitsky were Aero-Yo’s Sergey Bukanov and Cold Metal Strike Force’s Dron Glukhov. The Aero team also got first place in 3A with Stepan Kosintsev, and 4A with Rodion Sigov. 5A winner was this year’s EYYC runner-up Alexey Nemchik, also from team Cold Metal (thanks, RSFSR).
The open international division saw Singaporean World Champion Marcus Koh from Turning Point win the title, followed by YoyoFactory’ Augie Fash (USA) and Duncan Crew’s Kohta Watanabe (Japan).
Check out some clips from the contest, courtesy of 9.8 Yo-yos.
Russian Yo-yo Contest International Division
On December 3rd and 4th, Moscow will host the sixth Russian Yo-yo Contest.
A very welcome addition this year is the Open International Division, which kicks off with a very strong line-up: world champions Marcus Koh (Singapore) and Kentaro Kimura (Japan) from Turning Point, Krisztian Kaluzsa (UK) and Petr Kavka (Czech Republic) from CLYW, Augie Fash, Ann Connolly (USA) and Vashek Kroutil (Czech Republic) from YoyoFactory, and Kohta Watanabe (Japan) from Duncan Crew will all compete in the new division, along with European champions Nandor Groger and David Molnar.
On the home front, YoyoFactory’s Victor Gravitsky will try to defend his title against an ever growing local competition. The Russian winner will receive a trip to the European Yo-yo Contest, to be held in January, in Prague. All divisions will be held for Russian players, including an Artistic Performance division.
In addition to the international guests, the Winter Aero-Yo Fest, featuring a range of juggling and skill toys, should make this a most excellent event!
