Alessandro Calzolaro
2×2 · top 9.9% of 189,179 all-time · competing since September 2009 · 2009CALZ01
Alessandro Calzolaro has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.59, set at Legnano Open 2012, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 307th in Italy. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since September 2009, he has put 251 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 84% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 40.84 in September 2009 to 10.81, a 74% improvement. Alessandro has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
