Balloon Excellence, Rising Star, Nao Osaka
Balloon Excellence, Trailblazer, Alberto Nava

Congratulations to everyone.

Thanks Graham and also for phoning me in person. It was a surprise and an honour to learn from Dewey a couple of weeks ago, I had been selected as "Twister of the Year." Very exciting, but I was sworn to secrecy till the official announcement!
Many congratulations to Nao Osaka and Alberto Nava for their "Dewzie" awards too.

Congratulations to all three of you!!!

Congratulations!  I'm not surprised Christine won an award.  Well deserved.  Never heard of Nao Osaka. Will go check them out.
