Giovanni Damelio

2×2 · top 6.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2023 · 2023DAME02

Giovanni Damelio has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.17, set at Colorado Springs Showdown 2024, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,387th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2023, he has put 182 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.98 in October 2023 to 12.19, a 28% improvement. Giovanni has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
