Vincent Da Col has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.02, set at Johnsonville FTOpen 2025, puts him in the top 0.49% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 21st in New Zealand. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 33 competitions since February 2020, he has put 1,327 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 10.64 in February 2020 to 6.02, a 43% improvement. Vincent has entered 33 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
