Usmon Botirov

3×3 · top 5.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2024 · 2024BOTI02

Usmon Botirov has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.15, set at Uzbekistan Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24th in Uzbekistan. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2024, he has put 165 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.59 in December 2024 to 9.15, a 53% improvement. Usmon has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
