Iliya Dorozhkin (Ілля Дорожкін)

2×2 · top 9.2% of 189,179 all-time · competing since November 2019 · 2019DORO09

Iliya Dorozhkin (Ілля Дорожкін) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.52, set at Victoria Gardens Kyiv 2026, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 163rd in Ukraine. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since November 2019, he has put 213 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 50% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:09.70 in November 2019 to 17.78, a 74% improvement. Iliya has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
