Lorena Natale has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.43, set at Sonvico Summer 2025, puts her in the top 8.3% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 126th in Switzerland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since November 2018, she has put 196 official solves on the record across eleven 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.
