World records

The fastest single anyone has ever recorded in each event, newest record first. The oldest has stood 2,640 days.

A single is one solve, and the fastest single is partly a matter of luck: an easy scramble helps. That is why most events are judged on an average as well, and why the two boards do not hold the same names.
