Christopher Kondylis has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.81, set at Speedcubes Johannesburg 2017, puts him in the top 3.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 33rd in South Africa. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2016, he has put 149 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 17.88 in November 2016 to 10.93, a 39% improvement. Christopher has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
