Alessandro Sala

3×3 · top 2.6% of 288,433 all-time · competing since September 2023 · 2023SALA29

Alessandro Sala has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.88, set at Dosson al Cubo 2026, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 101st in Italy. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 30 competitions since September 2023, he has put 1,045 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 25 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.40 in September 2023 to 7.88, a 45% improvement. Alessandro has entered 30 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
