Rune Wesström has been competing for 23 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 33.34, set at Swedish Open 2010, puts him in the top 68.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,906th in Sweden. Across 20 competitions since August 2003, he has put 88 official solves on the record across one event.

His 3×3 best has come down from 46.76 in August 2003 to 33.34, a 29% improvement. Rune has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
