Will Feliks’ GOAT status be challenged?

[SpeakCuba]

My view on Feliks:
He broke 121 WRs and podiumed who knows how many times.
He’s a two time world champion.
He broke barriers that no one could’ve ever imagined, such as sub-6 seconds on 3x3 and sub-1 minute on 5x5.
He did coaching and critiques of many solvers
He has a website dedicated to teach cubers how to get faster across 3-7, OH and mega
He took part in two speedcubing documentaries, possibly more.
He’s had one of the best friendships and rivalry with Max Park. Feliks could’ve been cold with him, due to Max’s autism and the way he functions. Instead, Feliks bonded with him and made way more memories than what could’ve been imagined.
He’s one of the most humble cubers out there, and enjoys meeting new cubers and inspiring everyone around him.
AND he did all of that while being in school, being with his fiancé (now wife I believe), and managing a job in accounting.

Everyone points out that people are faster than him, and this is true. However, you can’t stay on top forever, and Feliks knew his time was coming. Being able to accept shows that he has a lot of heart for it and wants other people to push times down farther than what he could’ve done. He owned it, yet continued to push people in ways no one could’ve imagined. So yes, in my eyes, Feliks is truly the GOAT of speedcubing, and there will be many more that inspire future cubers.

What is great to see is that still to this day Feliks is getting Oceanic and National Records.

At the risk of repeating myself:
Feliks was a whole era of dominance. Ten years at the forefront.

121 WCA WORLD RECORDS

Max Park is the only one who's close.
