Romina Balbiani

3×3 · top 34.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2015 · 2015BALB02

Romina Balbiani has been competing for 11 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 18.24, set at Frikifest 2017, puts her in the top 34.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 120th in Uruguay. Across 6 competitions since September 2015, she has put 77 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 45.43 in September 2015 to 18.24, a 60% improvement. Romina has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
