Thijs van Onna has been competing for a year. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 6.65, set at Back in Ermelo 2026, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 32,817 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 42nd in the Netherlands. Until June 2010, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since February 2025, he has put 181 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.65 in February 2025 to 11.76, a 37% improvement. Thijs has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
