[Official] Andrew Kang - 8.91 and other videos from Battle of Lexington

Sub10s are rare at smaller competitions.

Yes. I've only seen a few, and I've been to a lot of competitions. I think it's quite appropriate to applaud for a sub-10. In fact, it seems kind of inappropriate not to. The lack of applause for this particular solve felt kind of awkward.
New people just lack perspective on that these days. I remember the times when it was rude not to clap for a 15.
(Maybe it comes from all the cubers seeing fast videos and all the non-cubers having met people with cousins who can solve it in, like, 3 seconds, man?)

I know the sport changes, but I think a sub-10 will always remain a large accomplishment.
