Omg I'm crying I'm so happy for her
I'm sure she inserted that F2L pair in the wrong slot on purpose to have an easy OLL and a PLL skip

WOAJ Great Job Juliette!

y' L' U L // F2L in the wrong slot

Zeroing strikes again!

A terrific result. She was clearly on form, as she also did a 5.45 in the Second Round of the competition, and of course the one-handed 3x3 NR of 8.30 in the first round.

I saw this earlier but it's insane

 

[Kit Clement]

Tfw you have all 3 remaining F2L pairs formed and putting one in the wrong place is the best choice

 

[Vim]

She's on a roll!

There's a video of it now, just amazing!! Congrats to her

Don't think I've seen it mentioned yet but this is also female WR by almost a second

Let's not differentiate between male and female in cubing. It's not relevant. Otherwise people are gonna say: She's fast... for a girl. And that's not appropriate at all.

 

[Wish Lin]

Insane!!!

 

[asacuber]

amazing!

I disagree. There are FAR fewer female cubers. This means there will be fewer female cube solves. This means there will be less lucky solves. So, by this fact alone, the fastest women's times will be 'slower' than the fastest male times, not because the men are faster, but because the men have 'more luck' because there are more of them. The 3.47 male world record was ridiculously lucky (even if only by the fact that the solver is otherwise not in the top-10); and if Juliette had a similar solve she could probably beat it.

So I would congratulate her on the female WR, and no, that does not imply girls are in any way slower. Fewer girls = less lucky solves.

Nice job Juliette!
