Juan Pablo Sánchez Martínez
Clock · top 6.1% of 32,048 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023MART72
Juan Pablo Sánchez Martínez has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 5.64, set at Unicentro Tunja lV 2026, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 32nd in Colombia. Until December 2011, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2023, he has put 234 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 35.79 in June 2023 to 15.40, a 57% improvement. Juan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
