Evgeny Petrenko

3×3 · top 2.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2016 · 2016PETR08

Evgeny Petrenko has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.83, set at Sherwood Park Open Summer 2017, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 78th in Russia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since November 2016, he has put 94 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.46 in November 2016 to 7.83, a 25% improvement. Evgeny has entered two competitions.

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.
