Sophie Châtel has been competing for 6 months. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.17, set at Gan Open 2026, puts her in the top 6.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 257th in France. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2026, she has put 143 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 17.40 in April 2026 to 11.04, a 37% improvement. Sophie has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
