Abel Gomez Torres has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.84, set at A Romper Tu PB Lima 2020, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 184th in Peru. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2016, he has put 176 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.57 in April 2016 to 8.84, a 30% improvement. Abel has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
