Feliks Zemdegs is an Australian speedcuber from Melbourne, Australia. Feliks is the first to have ever gotten the achievement of taking all single and average records for 3x3 through 7x7. 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.

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.
