Ruslan Romanenko has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 10.89, set at Astana Open 2023, puts him in the top 1.7% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 22nd in Russia. Until July 2011, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since September 2016, he has put 249 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 33.02 in September 2016 to 7.47, a 77% improvement. Ruslan has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
