Pablo Sotelo has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.45, set at Amor y Amistad Aves María 2025, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 345th in Colombia. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2024, he has put 87 official solves on the record across four events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 11.96 in March 2024 to 10.45, a 13% improvement. Pablo has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
