Seoyeon Choi (최서연)

3×3 · top 7.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016CHOI20

Seoyeon Choi (최서연) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.11, set at Daegu Autumn Open 2019, puts her in the top 7.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 444th in Republic of Korea. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since December 2016, she has put 24 official solves on the record across two events. Her 3×3 best has come down from 12.96 in December 2016 to 10.11, a 22% improvement. Seoyeon has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
