Apollina Kallou

2×2 · top 5.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2025 · 2025KALL06

Apollina Kallou has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.05, set at Stevenage May 2026, puts her in the top 5.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 61st in Greece. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since September 2025, she has put 183 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 17.13 in September 2025 to 9.47, a 45% improvement. Apollina has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
