Yuri de Oliveira has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.23, set at Capixaba Challenge 2023, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 206th in Brazil. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 24 competitions since March 2016, he has put 1,043 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.93 in March 2016 to 11.05, a 54% improvement. Yuri has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
