Omar López Olivares has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.12, set at Cascabel Hermosillo 2024, puts him in the top 5.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 206th in Mexico. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2019, he has put 280 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.24 in April 2019 to 9.88, a 35% improvement. Omar has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
