Egor Potapov has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.83, set at Eka Cube Winter 2020, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 69th in Russia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since November 2017, he has put 481 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 25.83 in November 2017 to 10.49, a 59% improvement. Egor has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
