Artyom Martirosov has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 20.07, set at Moscow Winter Cubing 2018, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in Russia. Until November 2016, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since April 2016, he has put 726 official solves on the record across 17 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 24.30 in April 2016 to 7.54, a 69% improvement. Artyom has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
