Jérôme LaRochelle has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.52, set at Charlottetown Summer 2026, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 206th in Canada. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since May 2023, he has put 476 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.58 in May 2023 to 7.52, a 40% improvement. He has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
