Wendy Nieuwland

Clock · top 68.5% of 32,048 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023NIEU03

Wendy Nieuwland has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 21.39, set at Michigan Championship 2024, puts her in the top 68.5% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 673rd in Canada. Across 22 competitions since November 2023, she has put 127 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 5 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 1:22.36 in January 2024 to 58.84, a 29% improvement. Wendy has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
