Gael Flores Marquez

3×3 · top 22.7% of 288,433 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023MARQ11

Gael Flores Marquez has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.47, set at Next Gen Cube Potosí 2026, puts him in the top 22.7% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 405th in Bolivia. Across 6 competitions since June 2023, he has put 174 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 50% 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 27.77 in June 2023 to 14.47, a 48% improvement. Gael has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
