Samat Sahetmyradov has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.03, set at Summit Summer 2025, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in Turkmenistan. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since June 2024, he has put 80 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.02 in June 2024 to 9.03, an 18% improvement. Samat has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
