[WR] Max Park - 1:35.68 Single & 1:42.12 Mean 7x7

[Timona]

Max Park just broke the 7x7 WR mean and single. The former single WR was 1:40.89 back in 2019, meaning he dropped the record by 5 seconds after 3 years.
Former Mean WR was 1:46.57 back in 2020.

Just an regular Saturday for Max Park.

It's about time.

Too bad every solve wasn't sub-former WR. According to his PB sheet that was actually an overall PB single for him. That means this isn't just WR, it's WB.

That is crazy fast, a few years from now we'll be approaching sub 1 7x7...

Sub-1:25? Probably.
Sub-1? Impossible.

You never know. When I started cubing in ~2015-2016, I remember the WR being around 2:20 from Feliks. So we've already seen a decrease of almost 50 seconds from that, or around a 1/3 drop. Another 1/3 drop from 1:35 brings us very close to sub-1.

anyway, Max's 7x7 records are always insane. His 1:47, 1:40, and now 1:35 were leagues ahead of contemporaries.

This is insane.Max keeps dropping 7x7 times by so much, no one else can catch up

Spoiler

Why is there 2 rounds of 7x7 but only one round of 6x6

Max already pushed the 6x6 WR so low, they probably wanted to give him more chances for 7x7.

idk.

Max is just amazing. I am not even sub-2 in 6x6 and he has 1:35 official. He practises a lot, very inspiring!

Congrats to Max!
