Emma-Lou Ropars has been competing for a year. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.62, set at Le Cube Normand Open 2026, puts her in the top 2.5% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 68th in France. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2025, she has put 228 official solves on the record across seven events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 14.85 in April 2025 to 12.96, a 13% improvement. She has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
