Viktor Iankov has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 3.89, set at Romanian Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in Bulgaria. Until June 2015, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since March 2019, he has put 824 official solves on the record across eight 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.
