Ryo Ito (伊藤崚) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 27.53, set at Kansai Open 2016, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16th in Japan. Until April 2012, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since July 2012, he has put 799 official solves on the record across twelve events.

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.
