Lorenzo Magnarin

2×2 · top 6.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2017 · 2017MAGN01

Lorenzo Magnarin has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.18, set at Belgian Summer 2018, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 201st in Italy. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2017, he has put 330 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.40 in January 2017 to 10.22, an 18% improvement. Lorenzo has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
