Ottavia Mapelli has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.11, set at Swiss Nationals 2024, puts her in the top 5.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 27th in Switzerland. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 18 competitions since July 2022, she has put 611 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 25.39 in July 2022 to 11.11, a 56% improvement. Ottavia has entered 18 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
