I was looking on WCA live and saw that a 5BLD world record of 23.01 seconds was set, and then about 2 minutes after seeing it I checked the site again and saw that it was gone. I looked on the world record holder's WCA profile and I saw that he was really good at some events, but he wasn't good at any blindfolded events. What happened?

EDIT: It was a data entry mistake. The solve was 23:01.00. It was an NR single though. Here is a link to the comp that it happened in: https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/competitions/AltavistaNxN2023

I'm sure it was just a data entry mistake. It happens fairly often - it's no big deal. Usually it happens by people entering a scorecard in the wrong event. Since all results are checked later after being entered, it usually gets corrected pretty quickly.
yeah those days there was a sub2 3x3x3 world record. I was astonished. but it was misentry.
