Euro 2014 - Roskilde, Denmark - August 8-10th, 2014

Congrats Alex! ER and European Champ now...
Five sub-9 average in one final, and everyone got at least one sub-9. Interestingly, the only person to not get any sup-9s only came third.

He's finally first in his house, congrats!
He has been first before, at V-CUBE Spiel 2013. He also beat Sebastian's comp PB average in the final of that comp, but at Frankfurt Cube Days 2014 Sebastian got a sub-8 average.

That was easily the best comp I've been to.
not like thats really saying anything
 
Just got back home, had an awesome time! Thanks to the Danish organisation team, and everyone else who helped with the competition, for such an awesome competition, you all worked hard and it really showed and paid off!

To those who were at the table I was at; my stackmat timer mysteriously disappeared from the mat that it was placed on throughout the day, it went missing very near the end of the last day, I presume one of you accidentally picked it up! It was one of the foot cube timers from Worlds so I thought I'd let you know about that, it also has a blue sticker on the front underneath the display. If any of you picked one up can you double check? Cheers!
