Sumi Lee

3×3 · top 1.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2013 · 2013LEES03

Sumi Lee has been competing for 13 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.35, set at Santo Domingo Summer 2016, puts her in the top 1.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in the Dominican Republic. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since December 2013, she has put 448 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 51.87 in December 2013 to 7.35, an 86% improvement. Sumi has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
