Mihail Tenev has been competing for a year. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.61, set at Blagoevgrad Open 2026, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 19th in Bulgaria. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2025, he has put 234 official solves on the record across nine events.

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.
