Yuval Porat has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.17, set at Denmark & Friends 2019, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 123rd in Israel. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since June 2017, he has put 230 official solves on the record across 15 events.

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.
