Is He The World's Best Speedcuber? - Guinness World Records

[@guinnessworldrecords]

Yiheng registered his record-breaking time during the semi-final of the Yong Jun KL Speedcubing 2023 event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 12 March. www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2023/3/9-year-old-yiheng-wang-solves-cube-in-record-breaking-average-time-742187

[@EliteCubingAlliance]

To this day no one has beaten this average. He now has 4 more 3x3 WRs, and no one has even beaten the first one. Not to mention he has nearly 20 averages that are faster than this 4.69

HI

[@cuyoch]

I competed in this competition and I will never forget that I witnessed this world record in person. It was really amazing for me!

I didn't compete in YJ, but I witnessed it too XD I was accompanying my friend there.

[@thatverseguy]

Dude has the most serious look on his face solving all of that. I see only progress for him here.

[@600micsofacid]

My thoughts exactly. They is look of a master.

[@lutimstrickshots9253]

We all thought the battle for the greatest 3x3 cuber was between Tymon and Max until some 9 year old kid just smashed the record. Edit: Yiheng did it again, he's insane

[@rajharssh]

[@Chlef]

yeah i had never even heard of him before this. i was expecting either max or tymon to be the next person to break it.

I'm almost 54 years old. Got my first cube when I was 10 and I could barely solve 3 sides at the most. Of course, now I know that's not the way to do it. I just recently got back into it for some reason. I watched a lot videos and studied algorithms for about 2 weeks. I can solve it easily now but not NEARLY as fast as this kid. But for me, it was an accomplishment.

[@YouxunYao]

Great editing. Speedcubing is no easy task, these young competitors really inspire me to do my best in my life.

[@eyeamagrape6321]

Guinness World Records! you have done an excellent job explaining what happens during competitions and how he beat the record! You thoroughly explained everything that happened and I'm still so shocked a 9 year old just got the wr for 3x3x3 average taking the record of Tymon Kolasinski!!!

[@guinnessworldrecords]

thanks!

[@sanjukumar580]

Such a quick and gentle correction at such a young age is really admirable🙌

[@jacobvanek]

I started cubing when I was 8. Im 15 now and my PB is 12 seconds and it has been for a few years. This kid is 9 and cubing for who knows how long and breaking the WR. absolutely insane. This kid is a prodigy and is going places.

Could it matter in the future? Just askin😊

[@shironium]

​@@mikebozik probably not, it's been like this for years and the world record was even tied at one point

[@salamander26671]

considering the low amount of competitions yiheng has done, he didnt just get lucky. he could do this again for sure.

[@EstrogenCubing]

Truee

[@DDHDTV]

Well he did broke it twice this year. Last time it didn't count because it was a misscramble, and all it would have impacted was a D turn instead of a D' turn.

[@EstrogenCubing]

@@DDHDTV It was a D move that affected the last U move

[@Sahil_Ansari_5]

The way Yiheng was reacting, clearly shows that he knew that, he can create history 💪🔥

[@speedcubingdotorg]

He has finally done it this time! I do think that Tymon Kolasinski will return with far more efficient solutions to retake it in the next year, over the next few years we will find the balance between extremely fast turning and extremely efficient solutions.

[@usamathecuber258]

Same here ☺️

[@samueljehanno]

[@rax1899]

I don’t see Tymon beating a 4.48 anytime soon tbh

[@JoeLinux2000]

There are physical limitations. It may boil down to the luck of the scramble.

[@Feverstockphoto]

I predict he will get an official sub 3 second single in the next 2.5 years, if he continues cubing and entering comps.

[@KiWi220]

[@havegottogitgud1864]

For sure.

[@_williwilli]

he looks so calm and polite.

[@JeremyGReviews]

Beautiful; this generation of speedcubers are incredible! I still remember when the world record was 10 seconds

[@ROAMitRALPH]

I’m the world’s slowest cuber. All these years and I’m still trying to figure it out

[@DGenerationX69]

Mate, I couldn’t solve it even if the whole cube was the same bloody colour!

[@dawnwilkinson6429]

Lol 🤣🤣🤣 me to we the special Ed cube class..😂😂

[@bigbosspanda1976]

Everyone who solves it like this uses a tutorial and I also did the same. You may think you could keep trying forever and never get it but I assure you that if you actually try with a tutorial you could 100% do it with just a bit of time, maybe it will take over a day or a few days but that’s ok because the first time can be difficult to figure out since it’s new. With just a few months of practice I became sub 40 and you’re not the slowest because there are lots of people who have not done it but you’ll find it’s easy after a few solves with a tutorial and possibly some notes to help.

[@5tuffz]

So crazy how these kids are taking over speedcubing. Can't wait to see what happens in the coming years 😮

[@JRECLIPS360]

Hi tuff

[@JoeLinux2000]

The engineering of the cubes has improved immensely.

[@vVearon]

this kid has only been cubing for a few years, original world record holder, Max Park, has been cubing since he was his age. now he is in his 20s.

[@yangshao787]

He has showed the mature and calm at this age is unbelievable.

If this guy continues cubing i cant imagine how insane he will become. He broke a wr at age 9!

[@vikusik0_4]

100% he will put a new wr single soon

Le Max, Tymon and other GOATS - finally we can rest. Found the one to continue the legacy

Finally a new cubing related one

[@Patexer]

Yeah. He’s like top 3 best cuber’s I’ve seen

[@MrWeeds]

More than a worthy competitor for the machine that Max Park is ! I'm stunned how you even get to 4, 5 sec yet those Max's 3,13 is just insane I believe this young little ninja is capable of beating that record eventually , 9 year's old 🤔 I'm happy i solved it twice in under 20 and average around 35-40 seconds if i do this 5 solves 😂😂 Yiheng is gonna be huge 👾

[@BebPlays]

i predict this guy will someday get sub 3 solves soon
