Earlier today, Feliks broke the 5x5 and 6x6 average WRs which got me trying to predict the next official WRs that will happen and more importantly, the times. Here's what I think's going to happen on the single for all events:
2x2x2: 0.49 (Christopher Olson)
3x3x3: 4.91 (Feliks Zemdegs)
4x4x4: 20.56 (Sebastian Weyer)
5x5x5: 45.77 (Kevin Hays)
6x6x6: 1:31.59 (Kevin Hays)
7x7x7: 2:19.43 (Kevin Hays)
Pyraminx: 1.21 (Drew Brads)
Megaminx: 36.53 (Yu-Da Hyun)
Skewb: 1.53 (Jonatan Kłosko)
Square-1: 6.38 (Bingliang Li)
Clock: 3.48 (Kit Clement)
One Handed: 6.40 (Antoine Cantin)
With Feet: 20.07 (Jakub Kipa)
Fewest Moves: 19 (Tomoaki Okayama)
3x3x3 Blindfolded: 20.75 (Marcin Kowalczyk)
3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded: 46/47, 58:53 (Marcin Kowalczyk)
4x4x4 Blindfolded: 2:00.11 (Gregorz Jałocha)
5x5x5 Blindfolded: 5:31.78 (Oliver Frost)
Let me know what you think of these predictions, and make your own! That's what this thread is for ;)

I'm just gonna do what I've already sort of done in Feliks' 5x5 and 6x6 threads and predict WRs at the World Championships.

2x2: nothing
3x3: I just have to predict it: Feliks will break the single, in the finals, and the building will erupt. Average stays.
4x4: nothing
5x5: probably nothing.
6x6: single is safe, but the average gets broken by Kevin and Feliks, with Kevin coming out on top.
7x7: Feliks probably breaks a PB, if not a world record. He hasn't had many comps with 7x7, and I think he's the best in the world at it unofficially. Maybe Kevin's improved a lot without us knowing? Hmm. For some reason, I'm going to guess that Feliks breaks the single and becomes second in the world for average.
