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.
