Dmitry Manakov (Дмитрий Манаков) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.80, set at Ural Autumn 2019, puts him in the top 6.9% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 254th in Russia. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since January 2019, he has put 91 official solves on the record across nine events.

Dmitry has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
