Competition today in Xi'an China. Haowei Fan (2009FANH01) set an AsR 3x3 average at 9.95, bumping the Chinese national record by 10% and putting him tied for fourth in the world. Eleven years old, so I guess he's the youngest official sub10.
10.41 9.59 9.69 9.75 10.75

Mulun Yin (2009YINM01), thirteen, set a Chinese 3x3 single NR at 9.00.

Haowei Fan also tied the 2x2 average AsR at 3.22.
3.33 2.16 4.68 3.50 2.83

Megaminx NRs for Haowei as well.

For this competition they stopped awarding separate prizes for the "kids group" as was often done in previous Chinese competitions. This time they gave awards for the "old people group" for those over 30. Need some encouragement to keep up with the kids.

Haowei Fan is pretty tall for an 11 year old. I don't remember how tall he is exactly but his fingers are long so I guess physicality isn't a problem. Hope he keeps cubing. It'll be very interesting to see where he goes when he gets older.

Short fingers should never be an issue; you can use a smaller cube.
My daughter uses a 46mm Mini type A.

She's still got 4.5 years to become the first sub 10 sub 10 :D
