Second Asian Record by Kaijun Lin (林恺俊) : 2nd May 11:40am (25 hours later and 1,442km away from the first AsR)

https://cubingchina.com/live/Guangdong-Open-2021#!/event/333bf/1/all

Solve times: 20.08 18.79 20.93 = 19.93 mean bettering his previous best of 22.44 by 0.91 second!

Kaijun's record attempt: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1b54y1578H

First time sub-20 has been breached in Asia. and within the space of 24 hours, we already have 2 solvers who are officially sub-20 seconds.

Kaijun Lin is the first person to get sub-20 official single in the world, and the second Asian to get sub-20 official mean of 3.

The finals are yet to happen (will happen on 3rd May ie tmw) in the Guangdong comp, so Kaijun and Bowen has one more go to get the AsR for 3BLD mean back. (Bowen travelled 1442km to the second comp venue for 6 more 3BLD solves).

Will do the analysis of these 6 solves some time later, which recons and fingertricks.

All these records happened in one competition which is crazy, except Lukas Shelley's record which happened at Kunshan Afternoon 2021.

The improvement of Ziyu is insane. He just got a 30 second official single a couple of weeks back in mega.

BTW, in which comp did Zhibo Xuan break the sq-1 AsR in?

Just an update:

Kaijun breaks the AsR again, and also gets closer to the WR of 18.18 seconds.
Also this is a pure sub-20 mean, which is a first in Asia.

Congrats Kaijun!
