Thomas Millen has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 33.32, set at Salzburg Open 2020, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 19th in Austria. Until November 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since July 2010, he has put 595 official solves on the record across ten events.

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.
