Giacomo Metalli has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.50, set at Muggiò Spring 2026, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 35th in Italy. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since April 2023, he has put 564 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.58 in April 2023 to 10.47, a 40% improvement. Giacomo has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
