For her, it's all downhill from here.

Which is a good thing, because going downhill is fun and easy!

something is wrong with that category when a six year old wins

When the category is playing with cubes, I'm not so sure?

or, something is very cool when someone unexpected excels at something :)

There's something wrong with symphony writing when an eight year old can do it.

She trains for 2 hours a day.

Average of 3 is under 4.5 seconds.

I'm a bit curious about the rationale behind splitting the category by gender for rubik's cube. Is there a difference in dexterity to justify it?

Sound about as useful as splitting rubik's cube champion by weight class.

Video looks impressive, though the resources poured into that training seems excessive to me. Maybe I'm too poor and don't understand how rich people raise their kids?

So happy to see that she is still 100% kid, but with superpowers that surprise her, first, I might add, because she is just fast like that. As a (past) cuber myself, but generaly into almost any competitive hand eye cordination thing, it would be fun to introduce her to the full varity of targeting, thrown or shot , and similar sports, and more practical things like useing hand tools, very, very precisely. The down side is that bieng better can often be a liability and also teaching her to recognise the ones who get viscious passive/agressive and will then seek to undermine, cheat, trick, trap, and betray, because thats what THEY are good at.
