Clock African Records, both were set in the first round at Canandaigua Winter 2020.

Of course he's great at Clock - it was fate, with a middle name Pin!

Just about to comment on that... GJ!

this is epic

I was there ! He also got NRs in basically everything, since he comes from mauritius.

"Comes from" is an exaggeration, he's lived in Canada for his entire WCA career and just recently changed his citizenship to Mauritius as a dual citizen. I'd guess he's a dual citizen by blood and is using it to milk records.

Can the WCA do anything to stop him? Considering that to change his citizenship he had to get it approved by a delegate, is it against WCA policy or was it just a mistake by a delegate which he used to his advantage?

WCA delegates check for valid identification (e.g. passport) when these requests are made. It's not against any regulation, I just think that it's meaningless to collect records in this way.

It’s not exactly boasting to say ‘I have a National Record in x’ where nobody has really heard of x that much.

I have a portuguese citizenship. Could I change my country to Portugal ?
And I can confirm he was boasting a whole lot about his NRs.

You could, but it kinda just seems wrong, assuming you never lived in Portugal.

Also, Portugal NRs aren't bad. They aren't super low, but you'd actually have to get good at an event to get an NR.

 

[GenTheSnail]

At least he's actually good at clock...

I don't think it's right to switch nationality to just get records, but if you're going to do it, at least be fast.

heyo
I’m Ryan and I’d just like to clear up a few questions that I noticed on this forum

1. My first competition was in Canada which is why I set that as my original nationality and I just learned recently that I was able to change it to represent my country (which I had citizenship for far before competing)

2. The NRs don’t matter to me except for the ones that I actually had to work to break (3x3 single)

3. the main reason for the nationality change was to put my country on the map, NRs aren’t my goal, no one knows about Mauritius, but setting AFRs is what hopefully puts my country on the map and eventually working towards a world record.

At the end of the day, I’m not doing this for approval. I’m doing it for myself and my country and criticism doesn’t distract me or control me, it’s fun to read and gives me a fun laugh at times, to all the people who support me, thank you, I hope I can continue to make you proud. Cheers.

Of course he's great at Clock - it was fate, with a middle name Pin!

Haha, yeah I’ve been told that a bunch of times

My middle name isn’t actually pin, pin is a part of my last name but it can get confusing

hey



I don't want to sound mean or unbelieving of you, but what do you have to say to this:



I don't know either you or WarriorCatCuber, but it seems like one of you has to be wrong(again, I don't know, I wasn't there)

Can we just not worry about it? This seems like pointless, meaningless discussion intended to find a culprit and berate them for it. Whatever happened, just move on.

This is a link to the video of the continental record if anyone was wondering

Even though you don't live in Africa, good job. I'm sorry if I insulted you.
