Christian Montoya

3×3 blindfolded · top 7.4% of 12,178 all-time · competing since January 2018 · 2018MONT03

Christian Montoya has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 41.70, set at Lima Summer 2023, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 11th in Peru. Until August 2009, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 37 competitions since January 2018, he has put 267 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 40 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.59 in January 2018 to 3.05, a 45% improvement. Christian has entered 37 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 2×2. 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.
