Great solve, Roman! You make lightning fast memo look so smooooth and relaxed

I loved your and the judges reaction afterward! Were your hands shaking at the end because you felt that the solve was going very well?

Congratulations! Very inspiring world record!

Congrats on achieving the first official sub-5!

 

[StripyCubing]

Fantastic reaction from both of them. Glad to see he continues to break his own records and finally sub 5. Always been impressed with 3x3 BLD let alone 5x5. This is incredible.

Wow... GJ...

The cube looks like it'll pop if you do anything rougher...

Who's the judge? She seemed very emotionally attached to the solve as well.
