Spanish Championship 2013 at the Arnold Classic Europe 2013

I have pictures of Arnold ^.^ i actually happened to be 1 meter away from him when he stopped randomly in the middle of everything. (So many people following him!!!)
 
I guess it's the trade-off you get for doing competitions in a high visibility environment with a very large ammount of passing by non-cubing audience versus a smaller cuber-only competition. There are benefits and caveats in both approaches.

It was not the first time I was competing in such an environment, and that one was *by far* the noisiest one I've ever experienced. Well, at least now I'm certain that I can concentrate on BLD events even in the worst conditions :p

Congratulations on your successes.
From your experience over the years, do you think competitions in this kind of environments are more beneficial to cubing in general or a more private cubing-only type of comp?
 
That's a really big deal to have a celebrity like Arnold Schwarzenegger at a cube tournament, even if the tournament was really at his event it sounds like.

Very cool, loved the photo of Arnold standing by the cube mosaic of himself! I even showed one of my coworkers at work, they're sort of used to me spouting cube trivia at them, like when Eric broke the most cubes in 24 hours GWR! :)

Thanks, but I got some DNFs too ::p What I mean is that my results would probably have been the same in a silent atmosphere.

IMHO it's always beneficial to cubing to show our existence to the general public. And being part of a larger event, or competing in a public place, is definitely more efficient for that than hiding in private cubers-only atmospheres.
 
Arnold was there very, very briefly, and there was a cloud of people around him everywhere he went. I was there sitting first line in front of the mosaic to take some photos for the people and ended up surrounded by his cohort in like 2 seconds. I took a couple of photos of him placimg the last cube of the mosaic, though.

The first round of 3Bld was hell, there was a cheerleader contest on the main stage some 50 meters away from us. First group was the top noise moment of the weekend, I'd say. Multi and FM was also hard, but better.

The mosaic was certainly an attraction many non cubers stopped by to take a photo, some people talked to some cubers but very few actually watched the competition. We had the 3x3 and 3bld finals on the main stage but by then there weren't many people around.

All in all it was really fun and we might repeat the experience.

Oh, Arnold is shorter than I expected and TMOY taller :p, and Odder/carrot really knows how to pop a cube!

I have a Chrome extension that changes all instances of "the cloud" to "my butt", as well as "cloud" to "butt" in most contexts. It took me a bit before I realised the quote above didn't in fact say "there was a butt of people around him everywhere he went."
