In the final, Joy competed against reigning world champion Waackxxxy, also known as Si Yeon, from South Korea. After her victory, Joy said:
I feel truly insane that I am world champion and that I got to represent our small country on this huge stage. Who would have thought that the Netherlands could win against the USA, Japan, Korea, and all those amazing countries with such talented dancers?
