Yannick Leupold has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.40, set at Queensland Open 2026, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 544th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since March 2025, he has put 252 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 97% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.02 in March 2025 to 9.40, a 57% improvement. Yannick has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
