Kristian Petkov has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.11, set at Lovech Winter 2019, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 39th in Bulgaria. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since February 2018, he has put 89 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.50 in February 2018 to 10.11, a 51% improvement. Kristian has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
