Doc66649: /* Trivia */

'''World Rubik's Games Championship 2003''' (usually called '''World Championship 2003''', abbreviated to '''WC2003''', or '''WC03''') was a speedcubing World Championship held at the Ontario Science Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was the first World Championship since [[WC1982]] and the first World Championship of the modern speedcubing era. Since it took place before the creation of the [[WCA]], it was retroactively declared an official competition.

== Highlights ==
* [[Dan Knights]] won 3x3 speedsolve with an average of 20.00 seconds in the final round.
* [[Jess Bonde]] set the 3x3 single world record of 16.53 seconds.
* In all, [[Minh Thai]]'s 20-year-old world record of 22.95 seconds was broken 99 times, contrary to the former record holder's statement before the competition that breaking his record would be very difficult.

== Trivia ==
* Competitors at WC2003 were asked what their [[cross]] color was, even if they were color neutral (e.g. [[Lars Petrus]]) or did not use [[Fridrich]] (e.g. [[Lars Petrus]]).
* Although the WCA Database only shows one round of 3x3 blindfolded, there was in fact an additional preliminary round consisting of 1 attempt. Out of several competitors, only [[Dror Vomberg]] and [[Shotaro Makisumi]] (respectively first and second in the final round) had a successful solve.
