3×3 · top 39.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2018 · 2018VIRK02
Oleksandr Virko (Олександр Вірко) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 19.82, set at U24 Tetiana Day Kyiv 2025, puts him in the top 39.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 998th in Ukraine. Across 12 competitions since June 2018, he has put 122 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 38.23 in June 2018 to 19.82, a 48% improvement. Oleksandr has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
