    No, it’s called Rubik’s cube.

    She posted averages of 4.52 and 4.27 seconds, after solving the Rubik’s Cube five times.

    The girl, who is from Chengdu, is “the first female speedcuber to average under 4.5 seconds”, CCTV said.

    A video posted by the broadcaster showed her wearing a red gingham bow on her head as she deftly turned and twisted a Rubik’s Cube.

      I’m not talking about the object, again. I’m talking about the sport.

      It’s a Speedcubing record, IMO. We rarely ever talk about “Rubik’s cubes” in the community of speed solving… It’s a speed cube or a “cube”. But to the uninitiated, that’s the common term for this type of puzzle, due to the inventor and brand. 👍
