4×4 · top 1.4% of 83,917 all-time · competing since July 2024 · 2024LOZO01
Mariia Lozova has been competing for 2 years. Her best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 27.19, set at Marble City Cubing IE 2025, puts her in the top 1.4% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 15th in Ukraine. Until April 2012, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since July 2024, she has put 192 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 5 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 9.53 in July 2024 to 7.44, a 22% improvement. Mariia has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
