Julian Bürgi has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.10, set at Swisscubing Cup Final 2025, puts him in the top 0.14% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in Switzerland. Until November 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 55 competitions since December 2018, he has put 2,290 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 10.07 in December 2018 to 5.10, a 49% improvement. Julian has entered 55 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
