Risbjerg Juni 2025

Inside Aulaen at Risbjergskolen, the rhythmic clack of plastic against plastic echoed across the hall throughout June 14 and June 15. The open floor in Hvidovre, Denmark filled with timers, inspection covers, and score sheets as thirty-nine competitors prepared their puzzles for a dense schedule. Across two full days, the gathering delivered twenty-two rounds of action covering thirteen official events, bringing together seasoned veterans and improving challengers under one roof.

The 2025 gathering saw established speedcubing figures demonstrate their enduring mastery of the standard Rubik's Cube. In the premier 3x3x3 Cube contest, which drew thirty-seven participants across three rounds, Martin Vædele Egdal proved untouchable. He posted the quickest single of the tournament at 4.86 seconds and sealed victory with an elite winning average of 6.81 seconds. Frank Lindblom of Sweden secured second place averaging 7.25 seconds, while Germany's Imanuel Müller took third on the podium with an average of 7.66 seconds.

The 3x3 results formed only a part of an extensive weekend for the Egdal family, who regularly contended at the sharp end of the standings. In the 3x3x3 One-Handed event, Daniel Vædele Egdal took top honors with a winning average of 12.68 seconds and a best single of 10.70 seconds. Martin followed closely in second place at 13.34 seconds, ahead of Frank Lindblom in third at 15.06 seconds. Daniel later added another title by capturing the Skewb final with a 2.72 average, finishing ahead of the fifteen-player field.

Martin Vædele Egdal continued to show the depth of his experience across the weekend's classic short-format and side puzzles. He topped a field of thirty-two entrants in the 2x2x2 Cube with a winning average of 1.54 seconds, edging Lindblom's 1.66 and Müller's 1.76. In Pyraminx, Martin captured first place with a 3.12 average, leading Daniel's 3.32 and Victor Valentin Glyrskov's 3.57. Glyrskov secured his own victory in the Clock event, producing an average of 4.40 seconds to take the title.

The bigger puzzles also tilted toward experienced hands. Martin swept the 4x4x4 Cube with a 26.75 average ahead of Daniel's 31.32 and Rasmus Stub Detlefsen's 32.47.

Away from the top of the podiums, the cubing competition provided plenty of remarkable personal breakthroughs across all thirteen events. Jonathan Lindblom delivered massive leaps across three events, lowering his Pyraminx personal best to 7.28 seconds, which was 70.8 percent faster than his prior mark, while cutting his 3x3x3 best to 30.04 and his 2x2x2 mark to 9.88.
