Johnswel Medrano
3×3 · top 6.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2016 · 2016MEDR01
Johnswel Medrano has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.53, set at Maxx Open 2017, puts him in the top 6.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 618th in the Philippines. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2016, he has put 84 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 30.11 in August 2016 to 9.53, a 68% improvement. Johnswel has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
