Aleksandra Bystrova has been competing for 5 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.11, set at Cube Factory League Brzeziny 2026, puts her in the top 1.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 156th in Poland. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since September 2021, she has put 1,004 official solves on the record across twelve events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 16.85 in September 2021 to 7.11, a 58% improvement. Aleksandra has entered 23 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
