Lucas Olson has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.14, set at Washington Championship 2020, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,292nd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2018, he has put 120 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.65 in December 2018 to 10.16, a 42% improvement. Lucas has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
