Justin Van Walraven has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.30, set at Going Fast in Idaho 2022, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,849th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since December 2021, he has put 80 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Justin has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
