Nazarii Protskiv (Назарій Процьків) has been competing for 8 years.

Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2018, he has put 204 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.88 in March 2018 to 8.32, a 48% improvement. Nazarii has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
