Roi Givon has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.51, set at Cubing for Yuval 2024, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 184th in Israel. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2024, he has put 155 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.20 in August 2024 to 2.51, a 40% improvement. Roi 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.
