Gabriel Martinez has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.54, set at Auckland Mid-Year Madness 2023, puts him in the top 9.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 196th in New Zealand. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2023, he has put 114 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 10.06 in May 2023 to 2.54, a 75% improvement. Gabriel 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.
