Sebastiano Azzolin
2×2 · top 9.0% of 189,179 all-time · competing since October 2025 · 2025AZZO01
Sebastiano Azzolin has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.50, set at Illasi al Cubo 2026, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 281st in Italy. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2025, he has put 78 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.77 in October 2025 to 11.89, a 37% improvement. Sebastiano has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
