Nikita Starodubov

3×3 · top 1.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017STAR07

Nikita Starodubov has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.00, set at Happy BSTU Cubing Days 2019, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in Belarus. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since November 2017, he has put 674 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.56 in November 2017 to 7.00, a 55% improvement. Nikita has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
