Andrey Korolev has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 21.39, set at HSE Open 2018, puts him in the top 43.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,461st in Russia. Across 7 competitions since March 2017, he has put 117 official solves on the record across four events.

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.
