Aarón Isaías Nava Espino
2×2 · top 4.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023ESPI14
Aarón Isaías Nava Espino has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.02, set at Coacalcubo 2025, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 168th in Mexico. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since June 2023, he has put 68 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.80 in June 2023 to 11.89, a 37% improvement. He has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
