Valentin Podosinovik
2×2 · top 4.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2014 · 2014PODO02
Valentin Podosinovik has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.87, set at BSU Cubing Days 2016, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12th in Belarus. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2014, he has put 119 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.82 in December 2014 to 1.87, a 76% improvement. Valentin has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
