#6 Sean Moran

He is the 4-time Megaminx UK Champion, he has a European Record and a European Championship podium to his name, this week's entry is from Sean Moran!!!

How did you get into cubing?

A lot of my friends at school got into it, so I started learning around the same time as them. We used to race and show off cool tricks and algorithms we’d learnt during lunch and that helped motivate me to keep improving.

Describe your first competition...

Macclesfield Open 2016, I got some results I was happy with and met many people that I’m still good friends with today. After the competition it was really cool being able to see all my results and rankings on my WCA profile.

What is you favourite event and why?

Megaminx. I enjoy it because it gives a lot of flexibility and room for self-improvement, which motivates me to find anything could fix in my turning, efficiency, or the algorithms I use.

How do you feel about event going forward, given recent events?

I am very happy for Aidan, it was really cool to see him get a European Record. For now I am going to continue practicing the event. I've been learning new things and been getting good times at home. For now I will continue this momentum and put myself in a good position for upcoming competitions; as well as work towards achieving a good result at the next World Championship.

What other goals do you have for the future?

I have started practicing Square-1 a lot recently, particularly CSP. I would like to be in contention for wins and NRs at some point, however many people are doing the same which will make this rather difficult.

I also want to continue my work on WSOT to help the WCA become an internationally recognised organisation, as it will bring a lot of benefits to communities like the UK.

What do you do outside of cubing?

I’m in my final year of university studying Politics and Economics. I’m hoping to work in government or journalism once I graduate.

Last but not least, a fun fact?

I have a French Bulldog called Rocky because he’s the same colour as a rock.

Thanks for answering Sean! and best of luck with all of your future ambitions!
