Oleg Burdakin (Олег Бурдакин) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.67, set at Siberian Athens 2018, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 101st in Russia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2018, he has put 250 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.03 in October 2018 to 12.13, a 36% improvement. Oleg 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.
