If we count each solve as being able to be an NR, as long as it beats the last one, then http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=1982BORS01 succeeds at that. He was the only person at WC2003 with that property.There are in fact 70 people in the WCA database who have never successfully completed a solve.The FMC competition had only 4 successful solves in total, the least of any competition I would imagine.
