Not to be shown up, Viavia Tiumlau, the former Junior Fireknife Champion, followed his duet partner, Mika Oloa, with a near flawless performance. While his single knife performance was exceptional, it was during his double knife routine where he shown. Don’t let his age fool you, his speed and talent are well beyond his 16 years.

He’s got some amazing skills and he gets better every year. His speed has improved and he’s a good possibility for the top 3. Only 1 drop, and the work on the double knives was amazing. Could it be an all-Orlando top 3?
He’s the youngest of the finalists and he came to show the big boys what he can do. VJ was the only flawless performer in tonight’s finals - without a single drop in either round’s routine. Will his difficulty and crowd appeal be enough to win?
Congratulations VJ! An awesome performance and a title well-earned. See you next year…
