Ellana Vauthier
2×2 · top 2.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2019 · 2019VAUT01
Ellana Vauthier has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.50, set at Barby Cube 2023, puts her in the top 2.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 95th in France. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since February 2019, she has put 334 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 8 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 11.85 in February 2019 to 9.62, a 19% improvement. Ellana has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
