TOKYO Its that time of year again, the time that youve all been waiting for with bated breath. Yes, the 2015 yo-yo world champion has been crowned.

Colorado resident Zach Gormley took the crown during the five-day competition, and its easy to see why.

Just like last years winner, 19-year-old Gormley didnt just stand on stage to complete a dry yet technically killer routine. Instead he incorporated dramatic music and choreography to compliment his absolutely spectacular talents and technical skills.

While watching those skills is pretty darn fantastic, I have to admit that the crowd feedback at yo-yo competitions is one of my favorite things on the Internet. (Aside from cats, of course.) The crowd oohs and aahs, increasing the drama after any and every stupendous trick.

And rightfully so. The drama shouldnt be saved for Gromleys mama, because he earns every reaction he gets, both in the video and for his skills in general.

Elite players from around the world consider Zach to be one of the most influential and impressive players to pick up the toy in recent years, and it appears that hes only just hitting his competitive stride, Gromleys bio reads on the website of the competition sponsor, the CLYW yo-yo manufacturer.

But you dont have to take their (of my) word for it. Check out the video above, and keep your eyes peeled from an around the neck move that would immediately knock me out cold if attempted.
