Anton Palnev (Антон Па́льнев)
3×3 one-handed · top 4.5% of 73,695 all-time · competing since May 2019 · 2019PALN01
Anton Palnev (Антон Па́льнев) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 13.05, set at Samara Speedcubing Fest 2019, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 56th in Russia. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since May 2019, he has put 105 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.16 in May 2019 to 9.32, a 16% improvement. Anton has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
