David Israel Chiguano Toapanta

3×3 one-handed · top 6.4% of 73,695 all-time · competing since February 2017 · 2017TOAP01

David Israel Chiguano Toapanta has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.14, set at Ecuador Nationals 2022, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Ecuador. Until September 2009, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since February 2017, he has put 212 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.96 in February 2017 to 10.06, a 52% improvement. David has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
