José María García Carrión has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.15, set at Imaginalia Open 2018, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 46th in Spain. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since March 2016, he has put 529 official solves on the record across six events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 5.78 in March 2016 to 3.05, a 47% improvement. He has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
