2×2 · top 2.2% of 189,179 all-time · competing since December 2019 · 2019VOVC01
Anton Vovchenko has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.51, set at Gem City Donuts and Dragons 2023, puts him in the top 2.2% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 42nd in Ukraine. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2019, he has put 225 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 2.17 in March 2020 to 1.51, a 30% improvement. Anton has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
