Yanis Faraz Ashiq
2×2 · top 7.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017ASHI01
Yanis Faraz Ashiq has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.33, set at Annuntia Open 2018, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 67th in Belgium. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since March 2017, he has put 201 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 9.30 in March 2017 to 2.33, a 75% improvement. Yanis has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
