Álvaro Rodríguez has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.60, set at Ocaña BotijOpen 2026, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 168th in Spain. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since November 2024, he has put 90 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.87 in November 2024 to 8.60, a 42% improvement. He has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
