Ivan Litsov (Иван Лицов) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.57, set at MPEI Open 2019, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 369th in Russia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2018, he has put 139 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.07 in May 2018 to 2.59, a 57% improvement. Ivan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
