Ismael Lorente
3×3 · top 3.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2016 · 2016LORE02
Ismael Lorente has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.43, set at Iruña Open 2022, puts him in the top 3.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 150th in Spain. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since September 2016, he has put 589 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 11 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.82 in September 2016 to 8.43, a 57% improvement. Ismael has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
