The traditional in-person 2021 World Yo-Yo Contest was cancelled due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. In its place, the International Yo-Yo Federation (IYYF) hosted the 2021 Online World Yo-Yo Contest (OWYYC). The digital format allowed competitors from all over the world to submit their freestyles via video, keeping the spirit of the international yo-yo community alive during a period of global lockdowns and travel restrictions.
