Riccardo Galanti has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.53, set at Campeonato de España 2022, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 37th in Italy. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since August 2021, he has put 390 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.51 in August 2021 to 12.04, a 47% improvement. Riccardo has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
