Elvis Chung has been competing for a year. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 2.07, set at Invercargill Summer 2026, puts him in the top 0.069% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in New Zealand. Until August 2024, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since November 2024, he has put 898 official solves on the record across eleven events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 10.58 in November 2024 to 2.20, a 79% improvement. Elvis has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
