HOLDING WORLD 2007: Samsung wins!

Well, we've had a great time here in Shanghai! So many holds, so many products, so many upcoming manufacturers and keen, young, eager to please holders that'll do anything to get the nod. It'll be a shame to leave, but before we get on that plane... here's the winner!

Samsung pulled it off, as it invariably does on these big occasions. There's something so artistic, so magical, so perfect about this picture - it's easy to see why it triumphed.

Samsung NV20 - winner!

You don't need a spirit level - the eye alone can see that's a perfect hold. Attaining such a precise angle while looking away and under the immense pressure of competition is a sensational performance. Well done to holder Jenny Wan and her coach, former Ukranian trainer Vlad Dmortan.

AMSTRAD's Joanne Williams - distraught

The sole British entrant, AMSTRAD's Joanne Williams, missed the cut and finished in 43rd after leaning on and breaking the stand of her LCD screen.

Poor Joanne. She was such a promising youngster, too. I remember seeing her at Milton Keynes in 1999 - she looked like a potential world-beater back then, but how things change.

Now all we have to look forward to is the post-season friendlies, and of course the para-holding championships.

Para-holding? I'd forgotten about that!

I want to see midgets holding things. Or even things holding midgets!

Jenny Wan is wearing the skunk outfit that her mother wore to win the Championships in 1981. And her mother before her in 1960. And her mother before her. It's great to see the Wan dynasty still managing to maintain their dominance in thing-holding.

I'm sure Vlad Dmortan was linked to supplying painkillers and artificial fingernails to young holders behind the iron curtain in 1979, but that shouldn't diminish Wan's achievement.

It's hard to, um, "concentrate" when I'm squinting so much.

I like to buy shadow of legend Gold to play the game. When I have time, I always go with my brother to make shadow of legend Gold, which make us very happy. We make cheap shadow of legend Gold to upgrade and to play the game. But sometimes we run out of shadow of legend Gold money quickly.
