0.92 2x2 World Record Average!

Still doesn’t feel real.. After failing time and time again over the past few years, I finally broke the biggest mental barrier of my cubing career. These solves are far from perfect though, excited to see what the future holds :)
0.84 (2.69) (0.71) 1.04 0.88 = 0.92 World Record Average

THE MOST DESERVED AND WELL EARNED AVERAGE EVER

[@cubeflipper]

Zany you have been going for this for almost 3 years now and right after Yiheng got the 0.93 average I thought no one could beat that. But after it was considered a (no count) you had another chance to get the first sub 1 again. And you could have barely got it but you went far beyond anyone’s expectations and even broke the 0.93 average! You deserve this more than anyone else and I’m so happy for you! It’s been a very long time coming!

I honestly think that this could be one of the greatest cubing stories ever, to potentially have gotten a WR like this 2 and a half years ago, then all the fails to happen after it, then for Yiheng to crush the WR only for it to be removed, (also the fact that this is sub Yiheng anyway lol). Huge congrats on finally getting the prestigious sub-1!
