In just six years, BYU sophomore Zach Gormley has gone from picking up his first Yo-Yo to becoming a world Yo-Yo champion.
Zach won the 2015 World Yo-Yo championship in Tokyo, Japan this past August.
A Colorado native, Zach competed against hundreds of competitors from across the world and dominated the event with his three-minute technical routine, while the second place competitor followed seven points behind.
He said he spent endless hours long before the competition perfecting his winning routine.
'I must have practiced it over 400 times,' Zach said.
