Martin Málek has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.11, set at Rubik's WCA European Championship 2026, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 96th in the Czech Republic.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.29 in April 2024 to 9.11, a 50% improvement. Martin has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
