2×2 · top 2.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2011 · 2011GRIT01

Oleg Gritsenko has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.56, set at Kalmyki Open 2013, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 81st in Russia. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 147 competitions since August 2011, he has put 6,615 official solves on the record across 17 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.15 in August 2011 to 11.76, a 39% improvement. Oleg has entered 147 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
