Oscar Roth Andersen
| ||||||||||||||||||||
Oscar Roth Andersen is a Danish speedcuber. He started cubing in the Autumn back in 2007. He got his first pyraminx on March 24, 2009 as a birthday present, he managed to solve it intuitively, and just 11 days later he broke the National Record for pyraminx single with a time of 5.80, which was his first official solve. He began practising pyraminx, and by the World Championships 2009 (which is less than 200 days after his first pyraminx solve), he managed to get a third place, with a +2 penalty on a 4.52 solve, without that penalty he would have ended up being second, just ahead of Tomasz Kiedrowicz. Oscar got his first World record in 2010 (3.92 avg), and broke a world record at his first 3 compeitions of 2011 (2.40 single, 2.36 single and 3.43 average). Rumours says that he did not even bring his own pyraminx with him at Euro 2010 and that he was 30 minutes late for pyraminx (luckily he did not participate in the first 2 groups), but yet he still won pyraminx with and average of just under 5 seconds (with a brand new pyraminx).
Before Oscar got too much into cubing he was an active track and field competitor in Denmark with triple jump as his main event. His overall best result was 12.83m at a school competition. Oscar never made it to the national team, but he was just 1 cm away from it. After a car accident it took him a year to get back to the shape he was in before, then he was hit by an injury in his foot, followed by an injury in his hip, which led him to stop track and field for good. He got second at the national championships for his age group in 2009, with a jump of 12.49m, he was ranked 5th before the last jump.
