Callen Kleij has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.86, set at BC Championship 2026, puts him in the top 0.31% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 20th in Canada. Until November 2011, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since June 2022, he has put 1,515 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.05 in June 2022 to 6.42, a 57% improvement. Callen has entered 27 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
