Finnish Diabolo Nationals 2011

[Marko]

The nationals for this year were a blast. Contest was held in Joensuu and lasted full 4 days. During the first 3 days we competed in diabolo and yo-yo. On the last day we had gala show at the market square just a block way from the contest stage in middle of the city. Thank you for supporting and attending to you event. If you missed this completely you can still see what happened in form of articles, pictures and videos.

I just got back from there yesterday so I'll give out better lists of the results once I have had enough sleep again Also videos are coming later, patience is the key. I'm sure people will have even more links, pictures and videos. So give links and updates here.

Now you can check out what the papers wrote about us and gather little bit of information on your own. Here are some key links:
