(9.53), 8.91, 8.77, (7.15), 7.88
Finally my first sub-9 average and then even ER (by 0.02 seconds) The 7.15 is also the German NR single.
This was in the final of the German Nationals 2011 and got me first place as well as a ticket to the European Championship 2012. The competition couldn't have ended better.
Also, Thanks to Helmut Heilig for filming and sending me the videos!

[Godmil]

Nice one!
(also thanks brest, can't wait to go through these).

 

[CuberMan]

nice job! soon there will be more than 10 person who achieved sub 9 average in official competition..

 

[Escher]

Amazing Conny

I don't know how/if I'll ever catch up to this kind of speed, let alone keep up!

Can't decide whether to root for Breandan or you in Euros

 

[Hippolyte!!!]

Congrats Cornelius! Always amazing!

nice job! soon there will be more than 10 person who achieved sub 9 average in official competition..

Thats the case.

 

[IanTheCuber]

Aw, 0.07 away from ER single to tie it. But still, great job.

 

[Evan Liu]

Aw, 0.07 away from ER single to tie it. But still, great job.

ER single is 6.41 by Mats Valk...

 

[IanTheCuber]

Yeah, I realized that while surfing YouTube, I looked up Mats Valk, and I'm like, oh, Erik Akkersdijk doesn't have the ER single.

This is a good opportunity for cubers to catch up somewhat to Feliks. It started out with Che-Ting Chu's 6.89 AsR Single...

Then came Nipat Charoenpholphant's 6.78 AsR Single, and that was't that long after...

And recently was Mats Valk's 6.41 Single, just look at the transfer from F2L to PLL, how fast is that?

And a lot of cubers aren't falling far behind, like Conny Deickmann, and Sebastian Weyer, with his 7.38?

 

[Yes We Can!]

Thanks everyone!
Brest, great reconstructions as always, can't thank you often enough
Rowan: You could go to Euro and win it yourself :3

 

[Mal]

Nice job
