Shaden Barzegar (شادن برزگر) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.00, set at Fardis Cubing 2024, puts her in the top 1.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16th in Iran. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2023, she has put 120 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 8.39 in July 2023 to 7.00, a 17% improvement. Shaden has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
