EDIT: It was a DNF. Apparently he was just trolling.

Apparently it was a DNF and he was just trolling. (he knew that it was DNF and just behaved as if he made WR)

I feel like regardless of whether he was trying to distract others or not, this merits some sort of punishment from the WDC. It's really not cool.

Definitely deserves a ban. Influencing the results of a world championship final should not go unpunished. Joke around all you want at small local comps, but the round wasn't over and his actions undoubtedly distracted other competitors.

There is a chance of few months ban if this is true. (i say few months because actual cheaters who have faked stuff not for trolling but for real to get away with it have gotten 1 year ban.)
Also, he had a 26 in the average already. Why did he cost himself a potential podium? I'm still confused :/

He didn't really have a chance for podium. His best possible average after his 4th solve was 8.47, which is over a second more than the 3rd place average.

Oh.
I was just referring to his speed in general but still doesn't make sense why he would mess up his average :/ .

A small ban or something from the WCA would be good depending on everything that happened.
Anybody know the details?

Basically a group of French people had already cheered at most of his solves. Around half? of the people in the final had already finished their average and the other half (most notably Nathaniel and Knott) was either preparing for or completing their final attempt. Pierre did some random twists and stopped the timer at 3.00 and jumped around pretending that it was legit. Crowd started screaming and ****.

I guess he didn't know that some competitors were still left and wanted to troll or something? Still got himself a counting 26...
If he knew there were still people left then ehh, he should have thought twice before doing this :/

He definitely knew. He would've seen people at the solving stations to his left.

He is in trouble big time, he distracted competitors not at a local comp, but at a World Championships which is not the right thing to do, so I think he deserves to be banned. I also got fooled while watching the live stream...

Wait why should this result in a ban?
