Lala Abbasova

3×3 · top 8.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2016 · 2016ABBA05

Lala Abbasova has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.38, set at MPEI Open 2018, puts her in the top 8.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 337th in Russia. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since August 2016, she has put 107 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 6 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 12.90 in August 2016 to 10.38, a 20% improvement. Lala has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
