Sathwik Krishna Naravi
3×3 · top 2.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2020 · 2020NARA02
Sathwik Krishna Naravi has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.09, set at Bangalore Newcomers 2024, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 273rd in India. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since February 2020, he has put 77 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.74 in February 2020 to 8.09, a 45% improvement. Sathwik has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
