  <p>Not as far as I know.</p>

  <p>If not, then may you please provide a list similar to here? (Please include their countries.)</p>

  <p>Here are the results from the relevant queries on my database constructed from the downloads available from the <a href="https://ratings.fide.com/download.phtml" rel="noreferrer">FIDE rating download website</a> for players with blitz ratings of 2700 and over. Since you also ask for countries I've included distinct player/country combinations. So, So appears twice, once for the Philippines and once for the US. Similarly Caruana for both Italy and the US and winner in the appearances category, Firouza appears 3 times for Iran, FIDE and France.</p>
  <p>The &quot;Period&quot; is the first FIDE rating list in which the player achieved the rating. If the player didn't play rated blitz for a year after that then they obviously retain the rating for the next year so the &quot;Period&quot; is the year and month in which FIDE first recorded that rating for them.</p>

  Here are the results from the relevant queries on my database constructed from the downloads available from the [FIDE rating download website](https://ratings.fide.com/download.phtml) for players with blitz ratings of 2700 and over. Since you also ask for countries I've included distinct player/country combinations. So, So appears twice, once for the Philippines and once for the US. Similarly Caruana for both Italy and the US and winner in the appearances category, Firouza appears 3 times for Iran, FIDE and France.
  
  The "Period" is the first FIDE rating list in which the player achieved the rating. If the player didn't play rated blitz for a year after that then they obviously retain the rating for the next year so the "Period" is the year and month in which FIDE first recorded that rating for them.
