Jan Golec
3×3 · top 9.7% of 288,433 all-time · competing since July 2019 · 2019GOLE03
Jan Golec has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.72, set at September Speedcubing Tour Kielce 2021, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 866th in Poland. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since July 2019, he has put 213 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 70% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 9 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 30.99 in July 2019 to 10.72, a 65% improvement. Jan has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
