Gabriel Elias Blanco Lara
2×2 · top 9.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2024 · 2024LARA05
Gabriel Elias Blanco Lara has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.54, set at Plaza Las Americas II CCS 2025, puts him in the top 9.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 54th in Venezuela. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2024, he has put 117 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.16 in April 2024 to 11.08, a 39% improvement. Gabriel 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.
