The Grand Final witnessed snapping strings and fainting groupies as the contestants,one fierier than the other, fought for the ultimate command of the air. Last year'sWorld Champion Sylvain "Gunther Love" Quimene (FR) gave once again a stunning performance and took the highest crown back to France. His fellow countrywoman Soraya "Eva Gina Runner" Garlenq scored second with her sparkling and tight one-minute show. The third place was taken over by retiring Canadian champion Cole"Johnny Utah" Manson. The World Champion goes home with a constantly-growing international fanbase, but also an electric guitar impeccably handcrafted by Matti Nevalainen of Flying Finn guitars. The top three were also awarded with Golla products. The top ten go home packing plexiglass guitars from Oulun Kopiokeskus in their Air Guitar cases.On the stage the four Dark Horses to clear the Thursday's Qualifying Round challenged the Air Guitar Champions from Japan, Malaysia, Great Britain, Canada,United States, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Russia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, France,Ukraine, Switzerland, Mexico, Denmark, Brazil and Finland.
