Ivans Gorbunovs

2×2 · top 6.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2011 · 2011GORB01

Ivans Gorbunovs has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.27, set at Sigulda Open 2017, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 29th in Latvia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since October 2011, he has put 1,272 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.28 in October 2011 to 10.16, a 34% improvement. Ivans has entered 25 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
