Renato Maritato

3×3 · top 7.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2017 · 2017MARI01

Renato Maritato has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.00, set at Rubik's WCA North American Championship 2022, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,099th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since January 2017, he has put 236 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 71% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.45 in January 2017 to 10.00, a 35% improvement. Renato has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
