Forget the Olympics (oh, you already had?) New Zealand's entry in this year's Air Guitar World Champs - the superbly monikered Tarquin "The Tarkness" Keys - has been named one of the world's top two best air guitarists: a week after the competition final was held in Oulu, Finland. Having finished second on the night, a recall was called for after discrepancies were noticed in the judging...
MiRi "Sonyk-Rok" Park of the United States was announced to be the Air Guitar World Champion late last Friday after a tight Final in Oulu, Finland. However, after the re-count of the total points it appeared that the national champion of New Zealand, Tarquin "The Tarkness" Keys scored more points on the first round. On the second round the points were even. After all the Jury decided to share the title and announce both Champions, because "Sonyk-Rok" and "The Tarkness" were extremely even during the whole competition. This was the certain and clear opinion of the Jury.
