Evgeny Sharov has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.87, set at Bussières Open 2013, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 156th in Russia. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since November 2010, he has put 363 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.33 in August 2011 to 8.87, a 28% improvement. Evgeny has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
