German Nationals 2008 TV appearance

[Markus Pirzer]

Today there was a short report about some speedcubers from Aachen and the German Nationals on the German TV channel "Pro7" in the TV program "Galileo" (http://www.prosieben.de/wissen/galileo/themen/aktuell/).
Did anybody see this? Has anyone recorded it?

[Sin-H]

Yeah I watched it because Kai told me to do so.

At least I know now how Michael Pohl looks like

But that guy who opens bras for speed also is awesome! (I knew him before)

 

[ParityErrors]

It was better than expected.


Q

 

[Raffael]

Yeah, I've watched it too.
Better than i expected, except for that they made Axel Häck look like not being able to solve a 3x3 OH.
I really like the part where the Aachener speedcubers pose outside the buliding.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot:
They didn't mention that Aacheners use a weird and sick colour-scheme.

Did you recognize that the two scenes I put the 4x4 at Ton's desk are actually the same? 15:40 and 20:17

 

[mpohl100]

watching this on TV was so funny.
the next day at school many people came to me and said:
"Hey I saw you on TV yesterday" or "You are such a freak"
the weirdest schoolday of my life

I can't get that video to play, and only that video won't play for me. :rolleyes:
(qqwref and Shelley have the same issue, apparently.)

 

[Unknown.soul]

Doesn't work for me either, it only plays the 3 second "ProSieben.de" logo. :confused:

"Hey I saw you on TV yesterday" or "You are such a freak"
the weirdest schoolday of my life
rofl

The next day, some people in my school said "Why weren't you on TV yesterday?" or "oh my god, that guy yesterday was worse than you!!!"

how immature to just see the times

 

[mpohl100]

well it's not a shame for me to be worse than you.

How long did it take you to get your average from 14.5 secs down to 12.xx secs?

Yes, I know, it's all about looks on TV, that's why they chose me, sorry

 

[KJiptner]

I must admit that I was a bit annoyed by the way the report was done. Next day everybody was like "Why did you tell us you became the german champion in speedcubing, if that guy won?"

 

[RobinBloehm]

Yeah, that's right, they should have explained what I congratulate you on, even I wondered why they put that scene in the middle of the competition.

 

[Sebastien]

yeah, that's just media...

I think Robin can already be glad that the report didn't start with "Robin is a freak..."
