Christian Yasef Salazar has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.47, set at IZcube 2023, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 470th in Mexico. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2016, he has put 221 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.80 in June 2016 to 10.47, an 18% improvement. Christian has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
