This is actually crazy. I can't believe we are actually swing sub-6 AVERAGES in competition...

Seriously. It's crazy to think someday soon we might see a podium that's sub-18. A sub 5 average is a matter of time and motivation. It seems like motivation to keep breaking records is high these days.

Also, a 3 second gap in average between 1st and second. Feliks could've had a counting 15.25 and still would've won.

Congrats to Feliks! He keeps pushing the barrier of what is possible! Soon we might see sub-6 as a regular thing. Crazy how far these records can go! Big congrats to Feliks! Hopefully he can keep that record for a long time!

Hold your horses, we still haven't seen a sub-21 podium. For now one person has achieved 2 sub-6 averages, but to have 3 people do it in the same final round is a completely different thing. Top cubers coincide only in very few competitions per year and they also seem to perform much worse in those competitions because of nerves. So unless by "soon" you mean in 10 years, I find it very unlikely.
