Earlier this week, some of the world's best freestyle soccer players came together in Sao Paolo, Brazil, to compete in Red Bull's street soccer world championships.

Players from 44 countries participated in this two-day event, which is judged on creativity, balance and style. 

The two finalists were Yosuke Yokoto from Japan and Arnaud Garnier from France. While Yosuke's trademark somersaults garnered great cheers from the audience, it was Arnaud who got the final nod from the judges. 

The next world championships are scheduled to be held in South Africa in 2010.
