Despite his success in the DSFL so far, one thing has recently come to light about Tijuana rookie Friedrich Vequain. He is an unbelievable talent in the art of the yo-yo. It was reported that Vequain had started refining his yo-yo skills at the ripe age of just 2, instantly showing unspeakable talent.
Entering elementary school, he was ranked as the #1 yo-yo prospect in Florida, yet only the #2 ranked prospect in the country. However, that was not for long, and at the age of 7 he entered the annual National Yo-yo Championships, where he placed 1st by a wide margin, earning him the #1 rank in the US at the age of only 7. Over the next two years, Vequain would continue to train, eventually deciding to enter the International Yo-yo Championship at the age of 9, entering as the the #6 seed out of 105 631 entrants. This was an embarassingly low number, and Vequain sought to rectify that. He mopped the floor, once again showing off his god-given talent. He placed 1st, earning international fame, $10 milion dollars, and solidifying himself as one of the greatest yo-yoing talents to ever grace the Earth.
Vequain continued to participate in the International Yo-yo Championships until he was 16, winning every single one without a sweat, proving that he is very likely the greratest yo-yoer that has ever been, and likely ever will. However, at the age of 16, Vequain found a different sport, with equal the intensity of yo-yoing. Football. Vequain's yo-yo skills quickly translated in to elite football skill, featuring speed, intensity, and determination. He became the his High School's #1 WR after just two training sessions, leading his high school to two state championships before accepting a scholarship to Florida. However, this came at a cost. He gradually began to lose his yo-yoing skills. Not that he was bad by any means, in fact, he was still easily a global top 5 yo-yoer. However, his new-found passion for football resulted in him yo-yo training less and less.
By his senior season at Florida, Vequain still had the talent of a top 10 yo-yoer, and was still easily the #1 yo-yoer in America, but he had dropped out completely out of any tournaments or competitions related to yo-yoing. His announcement regarding his yo-yo careeer caught the attention of 50 million on YouTube, and fans across the globe shared their love and sadness at his retirement. After a painful and emotional ten minute speech, Vequain had officially retired. Personalities amongst the yo-yo community had a range of different opinions on the retirement. Reporter and renowned film star Dwayne Johnson, also known as 'The Rock', shared his thoughts, saying that 'Vequain was the greatest talent to ever have graced the world of yo-yo, and he can do what he wants with his career. I wish he'd stay, but he can make his own decisions with his career.' NBA Star and loyal Vequain fan, Damian Lillard, also joined in the conversation, saying 'Vequain was a hell of a talent. Don't think we'll ever see anything like what we saw with him ever again.' Even the infamous President Trump chimed in, tweeting 'Yeah he was good but he SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT!! He won't be nearly as good at football as he was yo-yoing!!! He will regret this decision!!!!' We requested an interview with Vequain, but he declined, simply saying that everything he had to say was said in his speech.
Now, near the end of his rookie season in the DSFL, Vequain has proven himself useful to Tijuana, still hot on the tracks of a championship run. However, a far more important question that we are all wondering, is will Vequain come back to the yo-yoing stage at some point? Historically, only two top 5 yo-yoers have ever come back to yo-yoing after retirement, and they were both terrible after they came back. But, something tells us that if Vequain were to come back, things would be a lot different. Would he retain his global #1 talent? That remains to be seen, but what we do know, is that if he were to come back at some point in the future, the yo-yo community would welcome him with open arms.
