Rashid Alhajri has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.56, set at Ramli Mall Bahrain Open 2021, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in Bahrain. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since December 2016, he has put 590 official solves on the record across nine events.

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.
