David Gisler has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 11.44, set at Zentralschweiz 2018, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Switzerland. Until August 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since April 2017, he has put 599 official solves on the record across twelve events.

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.
