Viktor Stepanovich

3×3 · top 3.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2011 · 2011STEP01

Viktor Stepanovich has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.34, set at MPEI Open 2013, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 110th in Russia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since August 2011, he has put 254 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.21 in August 2011 to 8.34, a 26% improvement. Viktor has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
