The clubs

The sub-8 club

Every competitor whose 3×3 single has broken 8 seconds, with the day each one joined. Updated every morning.

8,151 people hold an official 3×3 single under 8 seconds: one in every 36 of the 289,612 people ever ranked in the event. The first was Erik Akkersdijk, 7.08 at Czech Open 2008. The newest member joined on 1 Nov 2026.

A club is joined on the day a competitor's best official single first goes under the line, and joining is permanent. The times below are induction singles, the solve that got each person in; many members are far faster now.
