Is that the first sub-4 clock average?

in a competition yes

Yunhao gets the clock single record too today, with a time of 3.22 seconds.

He breaks the previous record of 3.29 seconds held by Suen Ming Chi (孫銘志) .

Competition: Guangdong Open 2021

Congrats Yunhao!

Am I the only one who misread 'clock' for 'cube' in the title then freaked out?

Ah! Saw this on reddit like 10 minutes ago, congrats to Yunhao! (Congrats to Lou? Still confused on this last-first name thing)

Still confused on this last-first name thing

Surname "Lou", given name "Yunhao". Not really much to be confused about since most mainland Chinese cubers have their names in given-surname order in their WCA profiles. (Same for Japanese and I believe Korean cubers as well.)

Another tidbit that can help you remember this is that Chinese surnames are almost always a single syllable and given names are usually two syllables. (But there are exceptions. While rare, some people do have two-syllable surnames, like Ouyang; single-syllable given names aren't common per se, but they're not as rare as multi-syllable surnames.)

Clock finals about to happen in a few hours in Guangdong, super excited to see if Yunhao can better his 3.22 single.

 

[abunickabhi]

Yunhao did better his 3.22 second single a day later. The 3.22 second stood only for a day.

More like "Wrld rekord cracking timepiece"

(Seriously, qiyi has some terrible problems with english on their packaging)
