Hello,

Recently attended this event at Imago Shopping Mall, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The event was jointly organized by International Diabolo Federation and Sabah Diabolo Association. I believe this was the first ever International level Diabolo event held at East Malaysia.



There were a significant number of Taiwanese Diabolo Players, mainly from SFD Diabolo. Also a few Japanese players.
Some notable special guest were Chris Garcia from USA, Joei Kanno from Japan, 许亚恩 from Taiwan and 耿陆洋 from China.



Overall I think it was a good effort and the sound system and lighting was the best I ever experienced before. Only downside was they underestimated the time and hence it was almost 2 hours delayed if you were to based on the schedule. Next year they plan to have it at Selangor, Malaysia which is near to KL, TBC.

Regards
Hock Ooi.

p.s. I will upload more videos soon.
