Thanks for the reconstruction! It was cool, if a bit hard, since I'm not color neutral!

Could have been a high 4.6. Imagine that after the 4.59 recently..
Right?! I wonder if Feliks was disappointed?

Definitely. 2017 has been a crazy year for 3x3 single WR
Yeah! Just imagine what the single will be in 2020! We could still have the 4.59, or have a 3! Both are equally possible, but with this 4.75, and the rapid succession of world records for 3x3, I think we could have a low 4 by 2020.

Definitely not equally possible. The chance that it will stood for another 3 years is very close to 0. I think it may be sub4 in the next year.
 
I was pretty happy that I found the good start on green once I checked the cross colour he used, then I realised he didn't do it. I assume zeroing is the reason he didn't do the 6 move Xcross?

I'm terrible at inspection/planning in competition :p
 
zeroing is a joke.
I know it's not a legit thing, but I'm generally bad at cross and transition to F2L (I'm not even sub-13 global btw) and thought he was maybe doing stuff to make the rest of F2L flow better or something. Turns out he's just human and didn't spot it. Or at least that's what a robot would want us to think ...
