Michele Rinaldo has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.77, set at Cubing Italy for Charity 2023, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 264th in Italy. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since October 2022, he has put 60 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.23 in October 2022 to 9.77, a 13% improvement. Michele has entered two competitions.

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.
