Скачать или смотреть Rubik's Nations Cup 2017 Final: Australia vs. Germany

What a night this was, winning the first Rubik's Nations Cup for Germany alongside Sebastian Weyer and Philipp Weyer. Congratulations to Team Australia (Tomoya Firman, Feliks Zemdegs, Jayden McNeill) on finishing second in the tournament. The Australian national anthem is missing in the video, unfortunately. Nerves almost got the better of me, as you can see in my cube-drop one move before the end of my U-Perm. We didn't know that Tomoya had finished with a +2, so we were still very uncertain whether we were going to win until Philipp slammed down his cube. 23.38 is quite good for us, especially considering the significance of the match. We were averaging around 24 in practice, with a PB of 20.6.

Round of 64: France 4 (65.43) vs. Germany 1 (25.59)
Round of 32: Ireland (38.80) vs. Germany 1 (25.27)
