I'm thinking about making a video about speedcubers who also speedrun. Off the top of my head there's Stanley Chapel who's third in the world in Super Mario Bros, and Graham Siggins who's sub-18 in Super Mario 64 16 star. DGCubes and LaZer0MonKey play NES Tetris which I might talk about as well towards the end since speedrunning channels also cover high score based games from time to time

Are there any others you guys know of that I should talk about?

Scalpel, graham, rowe, shivam, grego and a lot of other cubers speedrun as well.
 
Jack Pfeifer and Sean Hartman (two US all-rounders and big cube solvers) were high level Super Mario Odyssey runners but both have since quit (Jack has subhour if that means anything to you)
John Smith (#1 ZZ solver) is a high level SMB1 and Red Ball runner.
 
Not that I care that my name be added to a list or anything, but I speedrun two games rather competitively. They are not so popular games now, but they were games that I grew up with. I am also a moderator of both games:
Knights and Merchants
Test Drive 6

I have done many speedruns in Knights and Merchants which I liked, but probably the most appealing video to watch for the masses is one in which I beat the hardest level of the original campaign in the game in 4.5 minutes instead of the typical 5-8 hour timeframe that beginners take to complete it! Here's the video, just in case anyone wants to watch it. (I purchased three licenses for 3 different soundtracks that I put into the video, so it's probably my most entertaining speedrunning video.)
 
I play minesweeper but I'm not particularly good. @qqwref is the US no1 in minesweeper and @effperm isn't half bad either (52 NF on expert).

Joseph Salee, the 2019 world champion was somewhere around 20 seconds on 3x3, but he also was using cross on top.
He also plays Tetris
Specifically NES tetris. I don't know how good he is at modern.

j perm used to play Mario kart but idk if he speedran it
Jperm was also pretty good at modern Tetris.

Oh, good time for this thread to get bumped.
Today I did some runs on ULTRAKILL level 7-2, which has been in the game for less than a day. I got the fastest run inbounds, but unfortunately inbounds and OOB are not categories for ULTRAKILL so I'm being destroyed by all the people who use OOB
 
speaking of games
i speedrun skate 3 occasionally and also worlds in Descenders
nothing crazy, my best time in completely highlands is like 12 min or something of the sort (its been a while)
