Victor Novokshanov has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.23, set at Azeméis Open 2023, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 31st in Portugal. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since March 2019, he has put 97 official solves on the record across three events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 21.23 in March 2019 to 9.23, a 57% improvement. Victor has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
