Giann Dominic Manalo has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.87, set at Lucena Speedcubing Open 2018, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 233rd in the Philippines. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since May 2016, he has put 340 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 9.94 in May 2016 to 7.87, a 21% improvement. Giann has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
