It was my last performance as a 4A competitor, and it was very emotional to receive such a big cheer from the audience. In the 4A Division, there are so many great players who have amazing skills, cool style, and passion for yo-yo. It&#8217;s time for the next generation. Please keep an eye on the 4A Division as well as competitive yo-yoing, which will continue to grow in fervor. At the same time, please continue to enjoy yo-yoing in your own way and at your own pace!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rei Iwakura&#8217;s Social Media Accounts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rei4a\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rei4a\/<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Twitter:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rei_4A\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rei_4A<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check other top player&#8217;s setting and maintenance here!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>World Yo-Yo Contest 2023<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/news\/2023\/09\/18\/11510\/\">https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/news\/2023\/09\/18\/11510\/<\/a><br><br><strong>Japan National Yo-Yo Contest 2023<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/news\/2023\/06\/29\/10983\/\">https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/news\/2023\/06\/29\/10983\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rei Iwakura REWIND staff member, Rei Iwakura got 2nd place in the World Yo-Yo Contest 2023 4A Division!!He performed a 3 minute freestyle, the culmination of his competitive career to date. &#8211; Sponsor: C3yoyodesign&#8211; Signature Model: Flawless, Flawless Air, Contrail&#8211; Signature Color YoYos: Speedaholic XX, Speedaholic FX, Initiator, etc. Here is our report of Rei&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":11472,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"swell_btn_cv_data":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,5,12,4],"tags":[51,267,77,264],"class_list":["post-11468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-event-contest","category-newarrivals","category-blog","category-video-freestyle","tag-c3yoyodesign","tag-maintenance","tag-rei-iwakura","tag-world-yo-yo-contest-2023"],"aioseo_notices":[],"views":2834,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230820-1307-scaled.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/s42RfF-11468","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11468"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11468\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11557,"href":"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11468\/revisions\/11557"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyorewind.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
