Théodore Mathieu has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.07, set at Open de Gatineau 2026, puts him in the top 0.7% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 43rd in Canada. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since November 2023, he has put 213 official solves on the record across nine events.

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.
