Javier Gomez has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.35, set at Road to Nats: El Dorado 2026, puts him in the top 6.9% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in Panama. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since May 2024, he has put 79 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.16 in May 2024 to 14.35, a 38% improvement. Javier has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
