Sun Woo Park (박선우)
2×2 · top 4.6% of 189,179 all-time · competing since December 2013 · 2013PARK13
Sun Woo Park (박선우) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.97, set at KAIST Fall 2014, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 123rd in Republic of Korea. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2013, he has put 218 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 76% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.36 in December 2013 to 1.97, a 63% improvement. Sun has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
