And now, the GOAT.
Our number one seed...
-Sub-six average. -...the defending world champion.
Please welcome from the United States, Max Park.
Park, defending world champion. Max Park from the United States.
Will he be the first person to win six events at a world championship?
-So he's already-- -Previous record of five.
So, he's already won the 4x4, the 5x5,
the 6x6, the 7x7, and one-handed events.
Insane!
Now, don't blink, it's Max Park time.
And he's off. He chose the yellow cross. One pair, two pair, three pair, four pair.
-OLL. -Ah, V perm.
Oh, that is not very good.
Max with a 7.70.
Where's Phil? Where's Phil?
Eight-point-five.
Max is in a bit of danger here. It's really up in the air.
Philipp could be world champion.
-Clean. Looking good. -[man 2] That is good. That is good.
Max with a 6.42.
Yup, Max is bringing it back big time.
His counting is a 6.57 going into the last two.
A lot on the line, especially for Max Park.
Nothing's decided yet. It will all depend on the last solve.
This is going to decide if Max Park is the world champion
or if Philipp Weyer gets the upset.
What does he need? Robin, what does he need?
-Like a 6.7, I think. -What does he need?
6.7?
Dude, this is so huge. This is literally everything right now.
Will he get back to back GOAT status?
Or will it be Philipp?
Guys, make space for Philipp to run.
No, don't. Max is a boss.
Like, come on. I know he's gonna get this. I'd be expecting a six.
Seven flat? Seven flat!
-Philipp did it! -Philipp did it!
Philipp is the new world champion.
Wow.
I don't think anyone would've predicted this podium, by the way.
Okay, Max, let's go out.
I didn't inspect well, right?
Yeah, it's okay, Max. You know, everybody makes mistakes.
Yeah.
This is a good learning, okay?
-Okay. -You can do it next time.
Here you go.
I tried, I tried.
So close.
-You did good. You did fine. -Yeah.
-Okay. -You destroyed everyone.
It's okay.
-Yeah, it's okay. -It makes us stronger.
Yeah, it makes us stronger, okay?
-Exactly. You still beat me. -Yeah.
"No podium" makes us stronger, right?
Exactly.
The thing that me and Max always say is,
"If you mess something up, it makes you stronger."
So I think that was what he was saying. "No podium" makes him stronger.
And then I still told him, he still beat me by 0.01 seconds.
But yeah, I could tell he was like pretty bummed
that he didn't win the 3x3.
It's okay, right?
-It's okay. -Right. It's fine.
Dude, you're five time... five world championships.
It's okay.
-You won everything. -Yeah, you did great.
Yeah.
It's a hard thing:
Max just dominating the entire competition,
but then missing out on the big one.
And yeah, I've been in that situation, so I know how...
I know how he must feel at the moment as well.
Dang, Feliks didn't get podium.
-Dang it, right? -Yeah.
But he did okay average, right?
Right, yeah.
Max looked at Feliks in the backstage,
and I could--
I know Max. He was looking at Feliks.
Feliks didn't make a lot of things,
and he was really feeling sorry for him.
I knew that Max didn't know how to say the words, but...
lot of things he wanted to say.
So I felt like, ah...
friendship.
But Max cannot express.
So I wanted to talk about that to Feliks in person.
Let him know that Max really loves him.
