ICU Worlds recap

Teams from all over the world took home medals, including Canada, Australia, Mexico, Malaysia, Chinese Taipei, England, Colombia, Norway, Japan, Sweden, Puerto Rico, Denmark, Wales, Finland…the list is long 🏅
See the results here & some highlights on the ICU Instagram.
Team USA once again took home the gold in divisions like Junior All Girl Elite, Junior Coed Elite, All Girl Premier, AND Coed Premier:
A few other moments:
The commentator got caught laughing at a team on the live stream…
And was replaced by someone sounding not too excited to be there 😴 We can only hope they do better next year…
Team USA All Girl Premier was called out for the opening voice-over and even changed it for Day 2.
Worlds recap & last day info
It’s already the final day of Worlds! 🌎 To see which divisions & teams are competing today, click here.
As always, a lot has happened… Here are some standout moments:
It is time to say goodbye to the Global divisions… As Top Gun GLOC (rock & roll themed routine) put it, today’s the “Farewell Concert” 😢
South Coast Cheer Fearless (Extra Small 6) has now won 4 years in a row!
Highest score so far? Cheer Extreme Code Black (International Open Non-Tumbling Coed 6 winners) with 132.5 out of 135 🤯
When the Worlds globe is almost bigger than yourself
Is this not the prettiest kick-triple basket you’ve seen?
Top Gun Lady Jags, aka the most decorated Medium Senior team, added another gold for the books! Fun fact: it happened exactly 10 years after their first win ⏰
As if the Large Senior division isn’t talked about enough already, ALL teams brought it on Day 1…It is anyone’s game for Day 2! (at least at the time of writing this)
You best believe there have been scoring issues…as always…Here’s one quick take on it.
This is what you call a GOOD STUNT 🫨
Spotters have been spotted (get it..?) singing along to music and cheering (get it..?) teams on throughout the competition. We would honestly do the same.
Some sportsmanship is always heartwarming to see 💓
