Is there really any doubt?

 

[Pedro]

Yu Nakajima
Harris Chan
Jason Baum

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Jason Baum.

 

[Crazycubemom]

1 . Maria Oey.
2. Grada Ooms.
3. Jany Preudhomme.

 

[Hadley4000]

I'll say Andrew Kang, Harris Chan, Jason Baum.

Logically:

You have to look through the comepetitions that are coming up and look through the fastest cubers in each of those competitions to determine who can possibly achieve the WR. Some of the people you are naming will not have competitions for a while now, so this is the actual logical way to think about who will achieve it next (although I'm not saying that the people who have competitions a month or so from now will not get the WR, just pointing this out). Looking through the competitions for possible WR breakers is difficult because some of the websites do not show preregistered competitors, and many are in different languages so that if they do have a section that shows the competitors, it is difficult to locate.

I'm going to go out on a limb with my guesses though haha

Sinpei Araki
Takao Hashimoto
Erik Akkersdijk

Yes.

I think this is a silly thread. Surely from precedence we can guess that its not going to be 'who we expect'? There are plenty of very capable cubers who can beat this average. I mean, Rob Yau hasnt competed yet and is capable of beating this average, and who's to say there aren't others like him in other countries?
There's about as much point in this as trying to guess the next lottery number.
Despite this, I'm placing my bets on Joey

 

[Piotr]

1. Tomasz Zolnowski ( he will break his own wr )
2. Adam Polkowski
3. Piotr Kózka

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Rattharrot Phurilearatthanasok
Rattakorn Tuntisasattayakul
Thanaphoom Pitakdechatanakit

Those are seriously the 3 coolest names in the WCA database

 

[Tyson]

Takao Hashimoto

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

I bet that it will be some cuber who isn't even in the database yet lol Or what if it was Mihn Thai who broke it haha

 

[SimonWestlund]

Erik Akkersdijk
Tomasz Zolnowski
Yu Nakajima

 

[mcciff2112]

I vote Jason Baum, Harris Chan, and Breandan Vallance

 

[tim]

Kai Jiptner!

 

[Dene]

Wait, we can vote for Tomasz again? I thought we couldn't. It doesn't make sense if we can; I thought the purpose of this thread is to find who will be the person to beat Tomasz, not to beat his WR necessarily (as in, if he beats it, it doesn't count. Someone else has to beat him).

 

[Mike Hughey]

I realize now I made a mistake. I should have picked:

Pedro Santos Guimarães, because he's the man.
Takao Hashimoto, because he's the man.
Joey Gouly, because he's the man.

 

[KJiptner]

Kai Jiptner!

Haha, good choice

 

[blade740]

I vote for Joey Gouly, Dene Beardsley, and Takao Hashimoto.

 

[DavidWoner]

Joey Gouly, Takao Hashimoto, Annie Rosen
