Axel Skoglund has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.46, set at Nordic Championship 2018, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 139th in Sweden. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since January 2017, he has put 527 official solves on the record across twelve events.

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.
