Sergey Shitov

3×3 one-handed · top 1.4% of 73,695 all-time · competing since November 2013 · 2013SHIT01

Sergey Shitov has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 10.46, set at MPEI Open 2019, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 15th in Russia. Until December 2011, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since November 2013, he has put 965 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.80 in November 2013 to 7.73, a 51% improvement. Sergey has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
