A 16-year-old Orlando boy won the 16th Annual World Fireknife Championships, held at the Polynesian Cultural Center last weekend.

Viavia Tiumalu Jr. captured the title of World's Best in the senior division, after winning back-to-back junior titles in 2005 and 2006.

His cousin, best friend and duet partner Mikaele Oloa, 18, took second place, and third place went to Joseph Cadousteau, 28, of Papeete, Tahiti.
