Manuel Navarro López

3×3 · top 5.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2013 · 2013LOPE08

Manuel Navarro López has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.08, set at Archena Open 2014, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 206th in Spain. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since September 2013, he has put 333 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.16 in September 2013 to 9.08, a 44% improvement. Manuel has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
