David Landero Villalón has been competing for a year. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.87, set at Spanish Championship 2025, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 145th in Spain. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since October 2024, he has put 684 official solves on the record across ten events.

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.
