Gabriel Solar de la Fuente

2×2 · top 2.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2024 · 2024FUEN06

Gabriel Solar de la Fuente has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.64, set at Fall River Cubikon 2025, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,078th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 24 competitions since July 2024, he has put 428 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 12 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.42 in July 2024 to 11.90, a 51% improvement. Gabriel has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
