3×3 · top 5.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2019 · 2019CAPP02

Sara Cappelli has been competing for 7 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.23, set at Bologna Winter Madness 2020, puts her in the top 5.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 206th in Italy. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2019, she has put 80 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 15.81 in May 2019 to 9.23, a 42% improvement. Sara has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
