Swan Graveleau
4×4 · top 3.7% of 83,917 all-time · competing since December 2017 · 2017GRAV05
Swan Graveleau has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 31.40, set at Carquef'Open 2025, puts him in the top 3.7% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 72nd in France. Until May 2011, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2017, he has put 113 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 4×4 best has come down from 1:15.99 in December 2017 to 31.40, a 59% improvement. Swan has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
