Thibaut!! Let's see a WR

 

[pjk]

No WR's? Wow. And Edouard didn't finish first???!? It's been awhile.

 

[Rama]

Thibaut Jacquinot congratulations!

 

[Doudou]

It was very hard (impossible) to find any motivation for the 3x3, because of both WRs.
Anyway I got good times OH, BLD and 2x2, so my objectives were succeeded.
It will not be the same times in Madrid, for sure.

Just the other day I wonderd what happend to Thibaut. I haven't seen him since WC. Nice to see him again, and that he still owns.

 

[Kenneth]

Same thing goes for François Sechet, have not heard anything about him since I met him in Stockholm when he was here on vacation last summer.

To bad he did DNF his BLD's, he is really fast, aspecially in the solving part.

I would like to say thanks to everyone for another wonderful tournament.

Some personal highlights:
- Breaking my personal best on fewest moves and megaminx.
- Finally breaking an old competition habit and solving F2L with cross on the bottom. It didn't do my results any justice, but I strongly believe my times will get a lot better with it.
- Staying at Gilles' appartement in the heart of Paris with a magnificent view over the city.
- Gilles and Ron telling me all day that they wanted to go to bed early, but ending up playing poker till well past midnight.
- Team La Défense owning the fewest moves competition.
- Putting my arm around a soft shoulder during the ceremony

Team La Défense

I am so dissapointed that you did not mention "doing like half a circle" to go to the restaurant on saturday"
or "walking, waiting, walking, waiting in the street while searching for a pub"

Of course, such a fun was organized by me twice ...
