Investigation results regarding unsportsmanlike behaviour

Anyway... on topic. I'm pretty amazed how immature a guy could be over a plastic toy. It kinda sounds like Haiyan is just a 4 year old complaining that he dropped his ice cream cone, so he deserves 2 more. Just my two cents.

Rubik's cube isn't just a plastic toy. I thought people being on this forum should know (if any).
When the North Korean footballtrainer came home from South Africa, he was brutally punished for the lack of success. Do you think he said "Hey, it's just a plastic ball!"?

Perhaps it was poorly worded. Besides, at the end of the day, I think speedcubing is just a hobby. You can't compare it to a professional sport the way you did simply because professional soccer (football) is so much more serious. Especially if you're with North Korea. Haiyan had no right to make such a big deal over a bld solve, when there's always a next competition around the corner.

to respond to sir e baum, i think that haiyan is trying to attend competition in hope for more scramble. more scambles, more chance for success. i think he wants to catch lucky scramble or something and demolish WR, like he thinks someone is going to go beyond him? i think that wca could be democratic, however in a democracy, the candidate are not always the one you would like. look at americas president now, it was a celebrity running. a black president, or an idiot one. like someone posted before, the delegate say that just because everyone agrees for you to be a delegate does not mean that he would be a responsible one. even in america, i want to become the president, but im not on the ballot. THIS IS DEMOCRACY! stop whining. and for more round of bld, maybe more people would compete if you werent there to smash the record all the time and more people would be interested in trying to break it. if i were to compete, i see haiyan zhuang on the BLD category i would want to give up.... no chance of me winning, and with 10 people compete, who care about 2nd place? if you ask politely, maybe they would say, ok maybe we can have one round. but dont hulk out when someone say, sorry no we cannot because no time to have event... learn to do something other than bld, maybe then your trip would not be such a waste.

You're looking at it all wrong IMO. Just because it's not the same level of activity, doesn't demean it. You still need the same principals of hard work and dedication to get anywhere in cubing.

That's just a side point. We could dispute whether it takes more work to become a football star than it does to become a rubik's cube idol all day, but that's besides the discussion. I've cubed pretty casually, yet I've gotten to (I think) reasonable speed. I didn't work hard at all, though you are right about dedication.

My real point is that Haiyan acted like a jerk (assuming that the allegations are true).

EDIT: Though it was rash of me just to call it "a plastic toy" since most of us are proof that "a plastic toy" can be quite a hobby. I was just trying to emphasize that I think Haiyan was making such a big deal over something so little. There's always a next competition, after all.
