Michaela Švecová has been competing for 12 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.79, set at Slovakian Open 2016, puts her in the top 3.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 19th in Slovakia. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since March 2015, she has put 554 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 2×2 best has come down from 10.42 in March 2015 to 2.20, a 79% improvement. Michaela 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.
