Vladimir Sergeev

3×3 blindfolded · top 0.83% of 12,178 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017SERG03

Vladimir Sergeev has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 18.15, set at Thailand Championship 2024, puts him in the top 0.83% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in Russia. Until November 2017, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since October 2017, he has put 366 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 21% around a typical one; 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 23 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.68 in October 2017 to 10.36, a 29% improvement. Vladimir has entered 27 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
