Roman Nossenko
3×3 · top 3.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2025 · 2025NOSS02
Roman Nossenko has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.17, set at Samgau Almaty 2026, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 37th in Kazakhstan. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since May 2025, he has put 384 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.49 in May 2025 to 8.17, a 14% improvement. Roman has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
