Bogotá No Duerme 2024 Delivers an Intense Weekend of Record PuzzlesEnglish

Eighteen rounds across seventeen disciplines formed an exhaustive schedule that only dedicated organizers, delegates, and tireless volunteers could bring to life. Hosted at the Conjunto Residencial Oasis de Castilla in Bogotá, Colombia, Bogotá No Duerme 2024 ran from December 13 to December 14, challenging a tight-knit field of 28 competitors to push through an intensive cubing competition. Managing a roster that spanned from lightning-fast standard solves to grueling blindfolded events required precise timekeeping, prompt judging, and constant coordination behind the scenes, ensuring that every participant had the chance to perform at their absolute best throughout the long sessions.

The 3x3x3 Cube event, universally regarded as the centerpiece of any WCA competition, was the only discipline of the weekend to feature multiple stages. Michael Andres Castillo Lemus captured the title following two rounds of play, locking in a winning average of 8.16 seconds alongside the round best single of 7.44 seconds. Those checking the 3x3 results witnessed remarkable consistency from Castillo Lemus, who held off a competitive lineup of 24 starters. His composed turns under the timer highlighted the pinnacle of traditional Rubik's Cube solving in the Colombian capital during the 2024 season.

While Castillo Lemus ruled the flagship event, Julian Alejandro Forero Gonzalez authored an astonishing multi-category campaign across the weekend. Forero Gonzalez claimed victory in the 2x2x2 Cube with an average of 2.09 seconds, defeating runner-up Juan Sebastian Mendez Llanos, who averaged 2.39 seconds after securing an event-best single of 1.26 seconds, and third-place finisher Shanty Rodríguez at 3.42 seconds. Forero Gonzalez went on to sweep the big blindfolded events, recording single times of 2:56.92 in 4x4x4 Blindfolded, 7:07.01 in 5x5x5 Blindfolded, and achieving a staggering 23 out of 31 points in 3x3x3 Multi-Blind within the exact 1:00:00 time limit.

The mastery demonstrated by Forero Gonzalez extended seamlessly to complex mechanical challenges and big cubes. In Square-1, he topped the podium with an 18.82-second average ahead of Michael Andres Castillo Lemus at 22.77 seconds and Juan Camilo González Barragán at 23.22 seconds. On the larger hardware, Forero Gonzalez posted a 2:02.49 average to secure the 6x6x6 Cube over Castillo Lemus at 2:13.01 and Daniel Cano Salgado at 2:14.97. He added the 7x7x7 Cube title with an average of 3:04.01 and a single of 2:55.31, proving his technical command across the most demanding puzzles.

Parallel to that sweep, Gabriel Santiago Velez Gonzalez produced an equally formidable performance across mid-sized cubes and specialty formats. Velez Gonzalez secured first place in the 4x4x4 Cube with an average of 29.17 seconds, ahead of Castillo Lemus at 30.28 seconds and Cano Salgado at 34.32 seconds. He also prevailed in 5x5x5 Cube with a 49.44 average, Megaminx with a 50.80 average, and 3x3x3 One-Handed with a 13.95 average. In the tactical 3x3x3 Fewest Moves discipline, Velez Gonzalez topped the leaderboard of 20 participants by completing an efficient single solve of 32 moves.

Beneath the top podium spots, the real depth of the competition surfaced through individual milestones and personal breakthroughs. David Santiago Pulido Ruiz delivered one of the weekend highlights by taking his Pyraminx personal best down to 6.99 seconds, an improvement of 32.7 percent compared to his prior mark of 10.38 seconds, while trimming his 3x3x3 One-Handed best to 45.78 seconds and placing 19th in 2x2x2 Cube. Alisson Gonzalez took on seven events and shaved 22.2 percent off his Clock mark with a new personal best of 45.04 seconds, dropped his Skewb best to 13.95 seconds, improved his 2x2x2 Cube mark to 8.20 seconds, and earned a 15th-place finish in Clock. Valentina Sánchez Muñoz contested five events, improving her 4x4x4 Cube personal best to 57.97 seconds, lowering her 5x5x5 Cube single by 9.6 percent to 1:56.56, and securing a weekend-best 16th place in 5x5x5 Cube.

New ventures into unfamiliar puzzles also marked an essential chapter of the gathering for several experienced solvers. Juan Nicolás Pinzón Martínez entered eleven separate events at Bogotá No Duerme 2024, recording his first ever attempt at 3x3x3 Fewest Moves with a count of 49 moves, logging his first official Clock time of 14.38 seconds, and finishing 10th in 2x2x2 Cube. Diego Hernandez Mondul took on eight events, securing his best result with an 8th-place finish in Skewb, setting a 3x3x3 One-Handed personal best of 19.90 seconds, and completing his first ever attempt in 3x3x3 Fewest Moves with a result of 65. Meanwhile, Francia Perez brought extensive stage experience to three different events, achieving a weekend-best 17th place in Clock.

The specialty and side events concluded with electric single-round finals across the remaining categories. In the Pyraminx final, Axel Juan Pablo Moreno Rodriguez clinched gold with a 4.96 average, edging Rafael Ricardo Gómez Algarra at 5.13 seconds and Julian Alejandro Forero Gonzalez at 5.15 seconds. Sergio Dorado took first place in Skewb with a 4.64 average, Jerónimo Espinosa secured the Clock crown averaging 6.04 seconds, and Angel David Alvarado Sandoval won 3x3x3 Blindfolded with a rapid 32.58 single, ahead of Forero Gonzalez at 50.09 seconds and Espinosa at 1:09.38.

Closing out a packed timetable of 17 events, the gathered solvers and stage crew delivered an unforgettable celebration of speedcubing excellence. Colombian competitors captured 53 podium places, complemented by 3 podium finishes from El Salvador. The seamless operation overseen by the staffing team proved that collective passion and careful floor direction make even the most ambitious speed cubing programs a triumph, providing every participant a fitting stage as they conclude another remarkable competitive campaign.
