Gašper Virant has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.60, set at Maribor Open 2026, puts him in the top 10.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 54th in Slovenia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2025, he has put 125 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.11 in April 2025 to 12.38, a 23% improvement. He has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
