Kaiden Alexander Carvajal Baron has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.88, set at Festival Cubero WSC 2019, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 138th in Colombia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 37 competitions since June 2016, he has put 1,129 official solves on the record across 13 events.

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.
