Thiago Rivas

3×3 one-handed · top 5.5% of 73,695 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015RIVA01

Thiago Rivas has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 13.65, set at Nacionales Uruguayas UCHI 2017, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Uruguay. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since May 2015, he has put 185 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.12 in May 2015 to 9.54, a 65% improvement. Thiago has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
