Luke Griesser is so honest about his thoughts and has so much commentary on many different subjects. He also has the most inspiring journey I have seen in cubing. Thank you to Matthew and Luke for the interview!!!

Absolute banger video. There are two things I really liked and want to talk about. 1. Love how Luke mentions that language barrier is why he can't get a Chinese coach. Also want to mention, that is also a huge reason why the "secret" chinese coaching methods aren't well known outside China. (And yes, ofc they try to keep it secret, and there are other reasons as well) 2. I love the talk about timers and the bidding process to become the official timer for a certain contract. It'd kind of be like a lot of other sports. For example, the NBA has companies sign contracts to be the one making the official balls as well as official jerseys. And in cubing, it'd be even more necessary, as if people want to actually simulate competition, they would have to own the official timer. One thing I would have to add, it would have to be absolutely important for WCA to have people verify the accuracy of the timers. Also gotta mention the money could be used to grow the WCA.

this the content i be livin for

great interview

Good stuff!

How do you keep putting out such amazing content 😅😅😅

Also another comment about for 36:20, most competitions in China actually require to apply to be a judge for a competition, and this requires you to be vetted by the organisers or some even to take a competition judge course and pass a certification. Judges usually get compensated and are rarely allowed to compete if they are staff.

22:46 "cause clo- feet got removed" lmaoooo

1:45 MIchał Halczuk mentioned 🦅🦅🦅🦅

He talked about everything except for clock! What about Clock?😢

He mentioned that tymon did an interview with the cubicle where he told about his practice I can’t find it can someone send the link

16:22 nah. out of the 16 finalists, only like 6-7 had a real chance of winning, so this is false. Dont tell that someone like Michael Nielsen or Ray Bai could win, sure theyre great at 3x3, but not to an extent that they could win
