Dalel Zhanataev has been competing for a year. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 6.43, set at Nauryz Almaty 2026, puts him in the top 23.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 165th in Kazakhstan. Across 11 competitions since October 2024, he has put 149 official solves on the record across four 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.
