Nestor Sanchez has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.03, set at Santo Domingo Fall 2016, puts him in the top 14.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 40th in the Dominican Republic. Across 32 competitions since December 2013, he has put 515 official solves on the record across nine events.

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.
