Gael Arias
2×2 · top 8.2% of 189,179 all-time · competing since February 2018 · 2018ARIA04
Gael Arias has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.42, set at La Paz Cube Day 2019, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 226th in Peru. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2018, he has put 150 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.77 in February 2018 to 13.01, a 47% improvement. Gael has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
