Ángel Sopo López

2×2 · top 6.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2010 · 2010SOPO01

Ángel Sopo López has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.22, set at Spanish Championship 2014, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 253rd in Spain. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2010, he has put 212 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.94 in December 2010 to 11.83, a 48% improvement. He has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
