Isabella Payares Aguirre has been competing for 5 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.98, set at Richmond Rumble 2024, puts her in the top 4.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 460th in Canada. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2021, she has put 119 official solves on the record across five events.

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.
