Stockholmsligan 3: Märke - 2026

A blistering 6.70 winning result in the 3x3x3 Cube by Ludwig Ivarsson set the standard at Stockholmsligan 3: Märke - 2026, anchoring a vibrant day of action in Sollentuna, Sweden. From that opening benchmark, the action expanded across six distinct disciplines on September 16, 2026, showcasing the depth of Swedish talent alongside notable international contenders. The high-energy event demonstrated how much speed and precision can be packed into a tightly scheduled tournament day.

Behind every rapid solve was the tireless dedication of the tournament directors, delegates, and volunteer staff stationed at Arena Satelliten. Managing staging areas, timing equipment, scrambling stations, and judging tables without missing a beat, the organization team kept the entire day operating like clockwork. Their behind-the-scenes precision allowed competitors in every discipline to step up and focus purely on their execution without delays or distractions.

In the flagship 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube category, the final 3x3 results rewarded flawless finger tricks and efficient lookahead under pressure. Ivarsson captured the top spot on the podium with his 6.70 performance, holding off strong challenges from Emanuel Skålberg, who finished second with a 7.37, and Daniel Wallin, who secured third place with a 7.60. The contest highlighted the fierce domestic battle at the summit of Swedish speedcubing in 2026.

The multi-event schedule offered a wide test of puzzle variety throughout the WCA competition. In the 3x3x3 Blindfolded discipline, Singapore competitor Theodore Chan claimed victory with a 22.05 mark, finishing just ahead of Daniel Wallin, who registered a 20.65 solve, and Poland representative Kacper Paweł Dworak, who completed the podium in 59.43. Memorisation and calm spatial execution were paramount as Chan navigated the blind solving challenges to earn an international victory.

The larger puzzles and side events generated equally compelling showdowns across the tables. Erland Flodman excelled on the big cubes, winning the 6x6x6 Cube with a time of 1:44.57 over Skålberg at 1:49.77 and Wallin at 1:58.36. Flodman also claimed the top spot in Pyraminx with a sharp 3.28, narrowly beating Lukas Östman at 3.36 and Wallin at 3.45. Meanwhile, Östman commanded the Clock event with a winning 4.73, while Ivarsson added another gold to his tally by taking Megaminx in 49.70.

Beyond the top steps of the podium, the deeper stories of the tournament emerged in the personal milestones achieved across the venue. Filip Lorander made a major breakthrough in the 3x3x3 Cube by posting a personal best of 24.64, which improved on a prior best of 50.91 by 51.6 percent, while also recording a first ever attempt in Pyraminx of 13.12 for a 27th place finish. Aron Airaksinen completed a busy five-event program, highlighted by a first attempt at 6x6x6 Cube of 2:55.72 to secure 7th place, a first Megaminx mark of 1:33.69, and a 3x3x3 Cube personal best of 9.18, cutting 7.1 percent off a former mark of 9.88. Leon Mostamand also tackled five events, achieving a 7th place finish in Megaminx with a personal best of 1:00.23, an improvement of 34.4 percent from 1:31.84, alongside a 6.4 percent Clock personal best of 15.99 and an initial 6x6x6 Cube mark of 3:09.74.

That same drive was evident as Albin Lorander logged a first ever attempt at Pyraminx in 16.66 for a 30th place finish and slashed 27.5 percent from a previous mark to log a 3x3x3 Cube personal best of 41.87 compared to an earlier 57.73.
