Stephanie Rose Martin recorded a 25.93 Megaminx average at Re-Laois the Cubers 2026, setting a new female world record and moving to fourth in the world overall for the event.
Martin’s final-round average came from solves of (26.61), 25.73, 26.43, 25.62, and (25.52). The result also set a new Irish national record.
Watch the 25.93 Megaminx Female World Record Average below:
The performance capped off a competition where Martin had already produced a record-level result earlier in the day. In the first round, she recorded a 26.20 average, which also would have been a female world record and would have ranked second in Europe.
Because the 25.93 came later at the same competition, the WCA records page only lists the faster result as the recognized record.
That kind of same-competition record replacement has happened before. One of the best-known examples came when Keaton Ellis recorded a 5.09 3x3 single that would have been a world record, only for the mark to be surpassed later in the same competition by the first official sub-5 single from Lucas Etter.
Martin’s 25.93 places her behind only Timofei Tarasenko, Ziyu Wu, and Leandro Martín López on the global Megaminx average rankings. It also makes her the first female competitor to record a sub-26 Megaminx average.
The result adds another major milestone to one of the fastest-improving events in speedcubing, where the top of the rankings has continued to move quickly.
"Because the 25.93 came later at the same competition" To be particular, the regulation is for the same calendar day. Multiple records for the same category can happen at the same comp if it happens over multiple days; and on the same day, out of different comps, only one can have the record.
