Christian Salvador Ponce has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.20, set at PUCP Cubing Festival IV 2025, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in Peru. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 32 competitions since May 2023, he has put 742 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 68% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 10.25 in May 2023 to 2.61, a 75% improvement. Christian has entered 32 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
