Ateneo de Manila Junior High School student Sean Villanueva (10-Sitjar) has set a new world record in 3x3x3 One-handed (OH) speedcubing with an average solve of 8.09 seconds. He achieved the astonishing feat at the Quezon City Speedcubing Open II 2024 held at UP Town Center on Sunday, 26 May 2024.
As reported by Tiebreaker Times, the previous record of 8.62 seconds average was set by American Max Park in December 2023. Sean’s new time marked “…an impressive 0.53 drop, the largest gap since Antoine Cantin set the One-Handed world record in 2015 with a 0.85 drop.”
At the QC competition, Sean also set the national record for a single solve with a time of 6.60 seconds.
At the AJHS Closing Ceremony on 29 May 2024, Sean Villanueva will complete Junior High School as the recipient of two awards: the Saint Robert Bellarmine Award for Academic Excellence and the Subject Area Award for Computer Education.
