History of Sport Speedcubing

[Deleted member 27249]

I really enjoyed the Netflix series Speedcubers. It talks about the friendship between Feliks and Max, and how Max’s life improved thanks to speedcubing.


Feliks and Max will always be legends.


If you think about it, without the internet and the WCA, the whole story of the Rubik’s Cube might have ended there.


Even the founder of the WCA, who made competitions around the world possible, is important.


We can say that the history of speedcubing, a relatively recent sport, is amazing.


It’s just a shame that champions don’t earn as much as they do in chess.

Champions in chess also do not earn enough. No one is a millionaire except, Magnus, Hikaru and Levon

We as cubers need more respect and recognition...as we know, a lot of people cannot do what we do as good as we do as dedicated as we do as much we do...

the Netflix series Speedcubers.

I guess you misspoke, but to be sure: Is there an actual series? I only know about one 40 minutes documentary ("The Speed Cubers").

Credo che tu ti sia espresso male, ma per essere sicuri: esiste davvero una serie? Io conosco solo un documentario di 40 minuti ("The Speed Cubers").

Yes this

Wait, why is my text in that quote in Italian?

Cyotheking has some really really good vids... maybe those will be of interest...

this interview by Jalen and Tyson Mao (founder of WCA) was really really interesting... why is white top and green front when we scramble? Why 15 second inspection? He answers....

Cubing isn’t big enough to make you a millionaire

He probably used the auto translation feature on some web browsers, and then the translated text was quoted.

I think because in that Moment I translate Page in my First language Italian while I quoted.
