Rodolfo Alejandro Escobar Ortiz has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 13.33, set at Tlaxcala Open 2016, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 75th in Mexico. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2014, he has put 303 official solves on the record across ten events.

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.
