Kevin Gómez Villanueva has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.03, set at Activa Club Rubik 2017, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 203rd in Peru. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 22 competitions since November 2013, he has put 604 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 28.67 in November 2013 to 9.03, a 69% improvement. Kevin has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
