Weekly competition 2007-28 (2,3,3OH,4,5,BF,SQ1,MG,FMC,MM,PM)

What about Johannes Laire? He might go to the Swedish Open this weekend and break his two National Records again. That would also mean that he might beat your best average time Gilles, just like he beat Rama's best time last week (http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/e.php?eventId=333oh&regionId=&years=&show=100%2BPersons&average=Average)

Yes indeed.
I would be very happy if he breaks "my" European Record.
That means that the level in OH cubing among Europeans is much better and thus the competition at the WC will be very good.

However, I would also like to say that I hope to break "my" European Record (= the Belgian record) at the Lyon Open. This is more likely to happen since there are 2 rounds and twice an average of 5.
In Lyon, the competition will be very good and hopefully, someone with a sub25 average will not be on the podium.

EDIT: I just checked the results of all the competition that took place this year. Every time, at least the 3rd competitor in the final had an average time of 25 seconds or more.

Gilles, I think this is the time that the competition for OH is getting so hard, we better do not care about it anymore, I mean look at us with the 3x3 we don't even care about it anymore, that's why I play the Pyraminx a lot now.

Ton claims that the cube WILL fade away again, so that means a lot less competition for the ones who still cubes, but also a lot less fun, I think. I would like to regain my ''6th'' position with OH avg with a few hundreds of seconds from number 5 and 7, that's much cooler to watch at.

OK, the Caltech guys changed the facts:

For the first time, the 3 fastest people in the 3x3 OH final had a sub25 average.

I'm still waiting for 4 people. ^^

 

[AvGalen]

Actually they did sub 25 in the first round and sub 24 in the final!
