Singaporean Yo-yo Champion Xavier Ng Competes in World Yo-yo Contest Finals
Xavier Ng, a four-time national yo-yo champion from Singapore, recently participated in the finals of the World Yo-yo Contest held in Prague. The competition took place from August 7 to 10, 2025 [1][3].
Training intensively for eight weeks in Australia alongside other national champions, Ng aimed to win the world title and bring recognition to Singapore in the sport [1]. Although specific details about his placement or awards in the Prague competition are not available in the search results, his notable achievements include his multiple national championships and his significant preparation to compete on the world stage as Singapore's leading yo-yo athlete [1][3].
Despite his best efforts, Ng experienced feelings of regret and disappointment following his performance at the finals. He admitted that his routine was not flawless due to a few mistakes caused by nervousness and pressure [2]. However, Ng expressed pride in his semi-final win, which coincided with Singapore's National Day on Aug 9, bringing national pride to Singapore [2].
Ng's semi-final win earned him a place in the finals, where he finished in fifth place [3]. Despite this outcome, Ng believes he could have placed in the top three if not for the mistakes caused by the pressure of competition [2].
At just 22 years old and a student, Ng is already one of the top yo-yo players in the world. His dedication to the sport and his commitment to representing Singapore on the international stage are commendable [1][3].
