Diego Arizcuren Poveda has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.40, set at Rubik's WCA European Championship 2024, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 147th in Spain. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2019, he has put 75 official solves on the record across four events.

Diego has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
