Pavel Kruglov has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.19, set at Potablava Open 2024, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 187th in Russia. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2017, he has put 107 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.70 in July 2017 to 9.19, a 21% improvement. Pavel has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
