I'm guessing the ones in the early 2000's had a lot, so I think it would be more interesting to see more recent ones, something like 2007+? Or simply just a graphic with those WR's by year.
Can anyone tell me the oldest person with a sub-10 avg (official)? What about oldest sub-9 avg?I think Ravi generated a list like this a couple years ago.

Totally. Easily shaving off 1.5 seconds from the previous record, even the worst of his seven attempts that competition was below the previous record. Unreal.
I also like Sameer's 2x2 average. It's not much faster (though it's the first sub-2 average), but it's the first time since 2009 that a first-timer managed to set a world record, and it's in a main event.

I understand people have absurdly long names in certain parts of the world (I have a somewhat long name as well), but I wonder why in Brazil it's more common for people to use the whole entire thing for something like WCA registration.
Maybe Pedro or Rafael could comment?
There used to be a competitor with a 3-character name (Edo), and his WCA ID was thus only 9 characters, as you can see in my old post. However, it appears that his last name was added on at some point, and he's now known as "Edo Lim": https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2011LIME02

People usually have big names here because kids will "inherit" all of their parents' family names.
For example
Girl named A B C marries guy named D E F (A and D being the names, like John or Pedro).
Then they have a kid and name him Z B C E F.
(That's not always the case. I'm not naming my kids that way...)
Also, double names are common here (like Marcus Vinicius, João Paulo) and those are not always short.
Some people opted for using a shorter version of their name in the past, but we're used to putting the full name in legal stuff, school stuff and whatever, so it's a habit that probably works with registering for a competition too.
