Jens Steenbergen has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 4.61, set at New to Edmonton A 2025, puts him in the top 34.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,368th in Canada. Across 12 competitions since January 2023, he has put 208 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs.

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.
