Glenn Mark Salgado has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 34.09, set at QUALberta 2017, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16th in the Philippines. Until February 2010, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 22 competitions since May 2012, he has put 586 official solves on the record across 13 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 14.93 in May 2012 to 10.23, a 31% improvement. Glenn has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
