Official results are not available yet, but i believe that the competition is from Zonhoven Open 2013. Congratulations Mats. Before this solve he had the 6th fastest single solve and the 2nd fastest average. Feliks Zemdegs almost 1.5 year old record for single solve is then broken.

Marcell Endrey set a new world record for solving the Rubik’s 3x3x3 blindfolded of 28.8 seconds at Zonhoven Open 2012. That’s 2 seconds faster than Yuhui Xu (30.58 sec) ranked second. I wrote a post about Marcell a couple of months ago here. He solved 19/19 cubes blindfolded at the World Championship 2011 in Thailand in 53 minutes and got a WR for that, however Zane Carney has beaten that with 23/25 cubes at the Melbourne Cube Day 2011 since then.
Feliks Zemdegs set a new world record average of 5 on the 5x5x5 of 57.94 seconds at Melbourne Summer 2012. That’s 1 second faster than Dan Cohen (57.44 sec) ranked second.
Individual times: 57.11 1:06.05 56.65 56.72 1:00.00
Now he currently holds the records for:
3x3x3 Single 5.66 sec
3x3x3 Average 7.64 sec
4x4x4 Average 34.82 sec
5x5x5 Single 56.22 sec
5x5x5 Average 57.94 sec
2x2x2 Average 2.12 sec
Two new world records have been beaten this weekend 17/12-2011.
First one is Mats Valk set in the Dutch Nationals Netherlands Zaandam for the 4x4x4 single time of 30.02 seconds. The former record was held by Feliks Zemdegs with a time of 30.28 seconds set in Australian Nationals 2011
Second is Michał Pleskowicz set in Kociewie Open 2011 in Poland, Starogard Gdanski for 3x3x one-handed single of 9.53 seconds. The former record was held by Piotr Tomczyk with a time of 10.68 seconds set in Swierklany Open 2011
The single world record time for 2×2 has been 0.96 seconds since Erik Akkersdijk did it in Geneva Open 2008. Since then two other cubers have accomplished the exact same time Rowe Hessler in US Nationals 2010 and Vincent Sheu at Berkeley Winter 2011. But now Christian Kaserer beat that long lasting record with a single time of 0.69 seconds at Trentin Open 2011.

Michał Pleskowicz finished as champion in the 2011 WC Rubik’s cube contest in Thailand with an average of 8.65. Rowe Hellser finished second with an average of 9.56. Third place (surprisingly) was assigned to Feliks Zemdegs with an average of 9.58. I think the pressure became to high on him.
The 3×3 one-handed final was won by Arifumi Fushimi with an average of 15.56

Day 3:
Top 10 in 3×3 second round had sub 10 average. Only Feliks managed sub 9. Only 8 managed sub 10 in semi final. Feliks was the only one with sub 8, no other managed even sub 9. Is the final round already pre-determined?
In 5×5 semi final both Feliks Zemdegs and Dan Cohen managed to get the two best single times of 59.53 sec, unbelievable! The 5×5 final was won by Feliks with a sub 60 avg of 59.94!
Congratulations to Simon Westlund for the first place on Megaminx!
Only the 3×3 final and one-handed 3×3 final to be presented! Who will win?
