Claim to Fame: Current and former world records in 8 unique events, first to globally average sub-7 on 3x3, first to have all single and average world records for all 3x3 through 7x7 events at the same time, and often being named the best speedcuber of all time.


Feliks Zemdegs is an Australian speedcuber from Melbourne, Australia. He is the current world record holder for all singles 3x3 through 7x7 and 3x3 one-handed events as well as the world record average holder for 5x5 through 7x7 events. Feliks is the first to have ever gotten the achievement of taking all single and average records for 3x3 through 7x7. Feliks has also currently ranked second for 3x3 and 3x3 OH average, third for 4x4 and Megaminx average, and fifth for Megaminx single as of 27 April 2017. He is widely considered to be the most successful competitive speedcuber in history.

Feliks is often joked about for being outstandingly good at 3x3 with feet, although he has never officially done a feet solve or publicly posted any videos of him unofficially solving with feet.

He is currently sponsored by Gans and SpeedCube.com.au

Style

Feliks Zemdegs is a color-neutral CFOP user. His meteoric rise in 2009, together with Rowe Hessler's earlier success, were the catalysts for the current popularity of Color neutrality in 3x3 speedsolving.
