Gavin Russell has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.00, set at Tacoma Fall 2026, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,179th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2024, he has put 157 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 42.89 in August 2024 to 10.00, a 77% improvement. Gavin has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
