Claudio Contardi has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 43.18, set at Serenissima Warm Up 2023, puts him in the top 80.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,417th in Italy. Across 9 competitions since February 2020, he has put 43 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 21% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 3:38.90 in February 2020 to 43.18, an 80% improvement. Claudio has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
