Lyon Winter Open 2007 Results

[Dene]

So in conclusion, most winning results were not very good. That is surprising for a tournament in France where so many good cubers live.

Sorry Arnaud, but where did you see that French people are good at side events ?
When you say that many good cubers live in France, you mean 3x3 good cubers (also OH and 4x4). The only other good French person is Frederick at the 5x5 (well, you can mention Gilles at the FMC). But else, nobody is interested in side events.

A proof of that : 2 weeks ago, I was holding 12 NR, and I didn't practice any of those puzzles except in competition (I don't even have a clock, a pyraminx or a megaminx).

So I consider that a 5.99 avg at the 2x2, a 1.21 single at the magic, a 2:02.70 avg at the megaminx and 12.90 single at the clock are very good results !!

Oh wow, this is such a good point, I never even thought of it. If nobody else does these things, then you only have to do it slowly and you would have a national record .

Kind of like that, although that's still too fast for me . I've never seen things like a megaminx/magic/pyraminx and the like. If someone were to lend me one, and show me how to solve it, I could go into a competition and solve it for the first time and make a National Record at the same time .

OK, ok, so basically you are saying the French suck at everything except 3x3x3's, but are improving.

I guess I am just to used to results from Erik, Mátyás and others that break WR after WR.

Similar domination, but not quite so absolute.
