2011 WBC semifinals 1-4

Spanish champion, Javier Garcia started the competition off this morning with a high energy performance that got the whole crowd energized.

Australian champion, Matt Perger, followed with a routine that saw him creating his signature drink on the fly with input from the judges.

John Gordon, UK champion, competed third. In an unusual twist, he served the judges two sets of espressos (only one of them for evaluation) to highlight the difference of varietals on taste.

Japanese champion, Miki Suzuki, and her always supportive audience delivered an ultra-professional performance.
