Laurin Schwartze has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.06, set at Swisscubing Cup II 2020, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 34th in Austria. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since November 2018, he has put 234 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.51 in November 2018 to 9.85, a 36% improvement. Laurin has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
