Juan Pablo Mendez Martinez has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.01, set at Los Próceres 2019, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 18th in Guatemala. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since May 2017, he has put 320 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.78 in May 2017 to 9.69, a 42% improvement. Juan 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.
