Hard set to be honest, I got best possible result from my DRs which is strange...
Best possible I consider a 22,22,20. I still got 3rd place which makes two for this tour, very pleased with that.

22.33 tied PR and 2024 Italian Champion.
Looking back at last year championship I grew a lot, giving that was my first time using DR in comp and now I am a more mature solver.
This comp was very satisfying in terms of nerves, probably the chillest of this year. Pleased by the fact that I solved safely and always had two solutions (that's not the case normally for me).
After second attempt I saw the margin that I had and solved like butter, without esitation. Surely some of the solutions that I found were a little lucky but I saw that luck comes also from speed, more things you check more are the chances that you get a easier DR and a better result.
On the other side if I went full send on the second maybe I would have found the 21 and get NR mean. Today my goal was to solve well and the NR curse didn't get me too much, hopefully I'll get it.

22.33 is very good for me. This mean has repaid the 285 attempts made in the last seven months.
It is one move away from NR but I'm not sad about it, I know that if I do well I can get it.
24,17,22 would have been a "minnie average" but I don't put myself at that level for now.
I want to thank the Italian community and the FMC server for supporting my journey, in particular Tommaso for making this competition possible.
There is still room for improvement and I think I can manage to average consistently sub 23 for the end of this year.
Next goal: NR mean.

At this competition, I had my best official performance ever — and it came at the right moment, with the Polish scrambles.
I’ve been chasing this goal ever since I got my 22.33, about a year ago — just one move away from the historic 22.00 mean of Sebastiano.
In the rounds after that, I had many shots to get the NR mean, but I fell short under pressure and made many errors:
- 23.00 at Optimal Solving in Povo 2024, with the super sprint scramble on A3 (80+ sub-5 EOs and 21.00 potential).
- DNF mean at FMC 2024: 20–24 start, then I had the 12+2 to get 22 but forgot to check extensions (21.33 potential).
Then Euros came, and Sebastiano woke the ancient one, lowering the NR mean to 21.33.
That was great news for him, having tried many times to break his five-year standing record — but it meant the NR was even further away for me.
Then more rounds came:
- 23.33 at Slovenian FMC Nationals 2024, with a missed NISS 3-move EO and a forgotten 4c4e setup (21.33 potential).
- 22.33 at FMC Italy 2024, with not enough time to find the 21 on A2, even though I had 4 different 10+4s (21.33 potential).
- 22.00 at Europe FMC Friends – Winter 2024, starting with an 18, but had to deal with mid scrambles and missed a 22 on the last (21.00 potential).
And then… this.
I never had a potential mean under 21 moves. These scrambles had a lot to offer — all solutions came from instant RZP and quite easy HTRs (even the 7+5).
Only the first solution was close to the time limit; for A2 and A3, I found the solutions quite early.
20.67 is very low, and I don’t think I’ll beat this mean without a good amount of luck.
I want to thank my parents for supporting this trip abroad, the FMC community for all the love from around the world, and all the people I met in Poland for making this trip unforgettable.
Especially Radomił, Wojciech, and Radosław for the great time we had together and the hospitality they showed me.
A big thanks also to my Italian community and everyone who sent messages of appreciation — hopefully, we’ll have the chance to celebrate once I get back home.
I don’t really know what goal to set now. I think I’ll just keep practicing and start enjoying the event for what it is.

Very lucky to not be down by 2 or even 3 moves after a chaotic A1, and then double tie with Mallard for A2 A3, NR is doable on this set but I’m very happy with this title as competition is France is quite ferocious. Congrats to Quentin for finally breaking the well deserved sub 22 barrier, and to LMR who is completing the podium after 2 consecutives wins !

Two lucky official solves in a row, aka getting lucky isn't a crime.
((TL NOTE: I was averaging around 28-30 at the time))
Didn't find a good solution for #3, so whatever. "Lucked out" on a 28-move ab3c (insertion cancelled two moves) near the end of the hour, because my backup solution was 40 moves long (lol). It's still a good mean by my standards.

imagine tying PR mean and single in round 1 and then doing that again in round 2

Didn't podium, but it's hard to feel too bad about it. All it really means
is that other people have improved, and that's great!
I actually wasn't feeling well the night before, so I didn't really sleep well.
Thankfully it wasn't a problem during the comp.
(but seriously when am I going to get anything better than 24.00; this is so cursed)
