Yurii Chulochnikov (Юрій Чулочніков) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.40, set at Ukrainian Nationals 2019, puts him in the top 6.9% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 63rd in Ukraine. Until September 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since February 2017, he has put 373 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.31 in February 2017 to 10.14, a 63% improvement. Yurii has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
