Gael Galvarro Arias
3×3 · top 9.5% of 288,433 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023ARIA04
Gael Galvarro Arias has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.65, set at USIP Race CBBA 2025, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 149th in Bolivia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2023, he has put 89 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 76% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.85 in June 2023 to 10.65, a 46% 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.
