Henning Blom (born in Sweden, 18th December 1986) is a disgraced eliter best known for splicing multiple videos of alleged [[World Record|World Records]] from 2009-2012 resulting in an illegitimate rise to a World Ranking of 3rd in [[GoldenEye 007]]. His involvement in the elite is extremely controversial and his actions have resulted in multiple changes to [[The Elite|the elite's]] proof policies and administration.

Henning Blom's (born in Sweden, 18th December 1986) speedrunning history starts off way back in the year of 2000. That was the year Henning and his younger brother Hannes Blom got their own [[Nintendo 64]] along with three games which were [[Goldeneye 007]], [[Perfect Dark]] and [[Super Mario 64]]. Henning was mostly playing Perfect Dark and eventually wondered what the fastest times gotten for the game could be and he found (on a library computer) a site named pdark.com (2001 or 2002) that hosted some Perfect Dark speedrunning videos from players such as SnapDragon, Paragon X9 and Marshmallow. Henning was blown away by their times (especially Paragons and the WAR! PA 1:00 from Marsh. Henning's PR on that level back then was somewhere in the 5x:xx) and couldn't believe how it was possible to be that fast and even wrote a "ranking" on a normal blank paper so he didn't have to memorise the times. He tried the [[Chicago]] [[Agent]] mine throw but that didn't really work well for him.

When Henning was doing well in Perfect Dark, he also started improving at GoldenEye 007. He first got added to the GoldenEye 007 World Rankings. He quickly got the basic times such as Dam Agent 0:54, Runway Agent 0:23 and [[Streets]] 1:15/1:59/1:59 etc and entered the top 100. After that Henning was asked by [[Ryan Koch]] if he wanted to join his rivalry in late autumn 2006. There he got closer contact with other players, for example [[Axel Zakrisson]] who was the rivalry #1, [[Adam Bozon]] and [[Graham Maddocks]], all of them are still good Elite friends to him. With some goals to go for, Henning started tieing (and untieing) rivalry record after rivalry record and at the same time climbing ranks on the Goldeneye World Rankings, top 80, top 70, top 60.

On his quest for new tied and untied swedish records Henning started to focus on Surface 2 where he tied the Agent World Record of 0:49, got 0:55 on Secret Agent, which was Sweden's record back then, and 1:31 on 00 Agent. Henning kept playing 00 Agent though, trying to untie it and so he did and he took it even further. On 28th December 2007, Henning set his first untied World Record, Surface 2 00 Agent 1:27. Sadly, [[David Clemens]], GE's #2 at the time, tied it two days later. This didn't stop Henning from playing GE though. He tied/untied more Swedish records and in the spring of 2008 Henning started to realise that he had a chance at passing Ilari Pekkala if he just kept at it. Poor Ilari Pekkala, who wasn't even aware of this, was now Henning's new goal.

In summer 2008, Axel Zakrisson hosted a Swedish meeting at his family's house. Two new faces showed up, [[Jim Söderlund]] and [[Axel Andersson]] along with all the contenders from the 2007 meeting. At this meeting Henning showed how "dangerous" he could eventually be for Ilari by tieing [[Cradle]] Agent 0:34 while several other eliters were watching him playing. Later the same day he even tied [[Bunker 2]] Agent 0:24 and got a new PR, Runway 00 Agent 0:38. Although he did all this he still didn't do very well in the Multiplayer tournament but at least he had improved a little since the 2007 tournament, being somewhat harder to win against.

Even if Henning had many PRs and WRs that were clearly top 5 quality, his bad pr's were holding him back. In October 2008 Henning finally reached the top 10 thanks to a [[Caverns]] 00 Agent 1:43 which he got from 3:08. Several eliters described it as the biggest jump in elite history ever. He was now 10th in points and 7th in total time. In spring 2009, Henning went into a period of semi-retirement when he started a relationship with [[Emily Hirvelä]]. By this time Henning had reached 7th place in points as well.

After a "very long time taken to get" [[Control]] Agent 3:59, I am currently playing for Frigate Agent 0:23. I'm planning on doing something and I won't say much more about that, we'll see how that goes, lol. But one thing is for sure, I will stay active for some more time :)

== Spliced Videos ==
In November of 2012, [[Goose]] discovered that Henning had faked some of his claimed [[World Record|World Records]] through the method of video splicing. Notably, two of his claimed untied World Records; [[Frigate]] Secret Agent 1:00 and Frigate 00 Agent 1:06 were discovered to be fake because the weapon Bond was holding in the ending cutscenes was different from the one he was holding upon entering the boat at the end of the level. Despite this being irrefutable proof of a faked video, Henning claimed they were legitimate for a day, until finally confessing. This initiated much dismay within the elite, and more fake videos by Henning were found. Additionally, it was discovered that Henning's [[Control]] Secret Agent 4:11, Frigate 00 Agent 1:07 and Frigate Agent 0:23 were faked. A new [http://elite.speedrunwiki.com/forum/index.php?topic=18782.0 proof policy] was written, and the elite formed a Council to formalize decisions on any controversial matter of this sort. Henning was removed from the rankings, pending an investigation of his timespage to ensure that he had no other fake videos. An investigation found no additional fake videos, and he was re-added to the rankings in January 2013.
In July 2013, irrefutable proof that Henning's Agent Single Segment run was spliced. Henning would confess again that his Secret Agent and 00 Agent Single Segment runs were spliced, as well as [[Statue]] Agent 2:19 and Control Secret Agent 4:09. As a repeat offender, the proof policy states that Henning will be permanently removed from the elite rankings and all records and titles he held in conjunction with the elite rankings are to be dishonoured.
