World Cube Association World Championship

It was 11 July when 833 competitors from 47 countries worldwide gathered in Melbourne to compete in the biennial event, WCA (World Cube Association) World Championship 2019. Sora and I were extremely delighted and excited that we met the qualification times for several events and made it to this prestigious event.

Over the 4-day championship, we competed in several events, namely 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, Pyraminx, 3×3 One Handed, Skewb and Fewest Moves. Not only that, we even got to rub shoulders with the top speedcubers and world record holders from USA, Germany, China etc. It was an awesome experience for us. Results wise, I achieved my targets of making it to round 2 for my pet events ie. 2×2 and 3×3. Sora was in excellent form and he made it to round 2 for 5 events! During the competition, many world records were smashed, and we both achieved new personal records too.

When the event came to a close, we said goodbye to our new friends but we are already looking forward to the next world championship in 2 years’ time.
