Juan Gerónimo Salazar Blandón
2×2 · top 9.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023BLAN08
Juan Gerónimo Salazar Blandón has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.57, set at Please Be Solved Aventura 2024, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 298th in Colombia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since May 2023, he has put 193 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.31 in May 2023 to 12.80, a 65% improvement. Juan has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
