World Pyro Olympics 2009

The World Pyro Olympics is moving to a new location which means that this year it will have new rules, new shows, new effects and new participants

This year, the World Pyro Olympics is packing up and moving to Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. The competition for this year is already looking promising because, this year it will be a pyromusical competition. Each of the 10 shows that will be presented are going to be synchronized to music and is now worthy to be called a Pyromusical. As promising as the competitions is, the list of participants this year can only tell us that the World Pyro Olympics 2009 will only bring up the competition to a much higher level. The following are the countries participating in this year’s World Pyro Olympics:

Italy (Defending Champion)
United States
United Kingdom
Germany
China
South Korea
Japan
Australia
Philippines

With the countries presented, it is now our job to post our hopes in which firms we would like to see in the competition. Here’s mine

Italy (Obviously Parente)
United States (Melrose)
United Kingdom (Kimbolton)
Germany (Pyro-Art)
China (Glorious)
South Korea (Hanhwa)
Japan (MARUTAMAYA)
Australia (Show FX.)
Philippines (Obviously La Mancha)

We should watch how Parente will try to defend their title as The Champions and at the same time we must watch out how the other participants try to get the most coveted World Pyro Olympics trophy. I’m sure that the shows this year will be much complex than the show’s we’ve seen in the past. Since they moved the competition in The fort we must expect a wider firing pad and ofcourse more one shots (I Wish). More Updates are coming soon

China (sunny international) – Forever Love

So everyone enjoy the competition. I think that it’s gonna be a tough competition this year with all the interesting themes. Atleast two of those shows, i already have an idea on how it could look like..

And the winner is……..

So the World Pyro Olympics 2008 ended with an almost perfect weather! The only bad thing was that the wind was blowing everywhere so obviously there was smoke everywhere too haha!! Too bad cause the sound system was destroyed which removed the pyromusical feeling of the last show! good thing that some of the tracks were still hearable from where i was!

At first the audio was perfect but when the winner was about to be announced the speakers just stopped working so we were all asking each other who?? hahhaa!! But Some people were able to hear it and the winner was Italy’s Parente fireworks my favorite!
