Miguel Cabrita has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.17, set at Boards & Cubes Venteira 2025, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 28th in Portugal.

His 3×3 best has come down from 54.99 in December 2024 to 14.93, a 73% improvement. Miguel has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
