Alejandro Velasquez Torres has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.43, set at Ecuador Nationals 2025, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Ecuador. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since May 2023, he has put 576 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 11.80 in May 2023 to 2.51, a 79% improvement. Alejandro has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
