Olivia Lee has been competing for 11 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.02, set at PBs in Palisades 2023, puts her in the top 7.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,131st in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since May 2015, she has put 212 official solves on the record across six events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 25.34 in May 2015 to 10.02, a 60% improvement. Olivia has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
