Consistency Drives Ciro Avalos to Five Titles at Desafío Cubero Alta Gracia 2025English
Ciro Avalos delivered an exhibition of sustained precision across three rounds of the classic 3x3x3 Cube, posting an 8.84-second winning average that stood apart on a weekend where consistency repeatedly triumphed over one-off singles. The stage at Cine Teatro Monumental Sierras hosted Desafío Cubero Alta Gracia 2025 from June 7 to June 8, 2025, bringing 45 competitors together in Alta Gracia, Córdoba, Argentina. Across 10 distinct events and 17 rounds of competition, the decisive metric remained steady execution under tournament pressure rather than the fortune of an isolated solve.
The premier 3x3 results demonstrated that composure over five attempts was the ultimate arbiter on the tournament floor. Avalos, who produced a best single of 7.01 seconds during the contest, held off a hard-charging field to take the top step of the podium. Matías Ponte claimed second place with a 9.50 average, while Francisco Thalasselis earned third place with a 9.67 average. The traditional Rubik's Cube drew a field of 43 competitors, serving as the centrepiece of a vibrant cubing competition that tested dexterity across every format.
Avalos converted that methodical control into four additional victories across the weekend schedule. In the 2x2x2 Cube, Avalos topped the 32-person roster with a 2.40 average, bolstered by a 1.96 single. Taking to the table for 3x3x3 One-Handed, he secured victory with a 14.65 average against 19 rivals, finishing ahead of Thalasselis at 16.20 and Luka Arce González at 16.77. In the 4x4x4 Cube, Avalos again paced the 20-competitor field with a winning mark of 35.06, leading Thalasselis at 37.42 and Ponte at 38.04, before completing his five-event sweep by taking Skewb in 4.83 seconds.
Francisco Thalasselis found his own groove in the complex puzzles, demonstrating superior command in multi-layered events. In the 5x5x5 Cube, Thalasselis captured the title with a 1:08.66 average and a best single of 1:04.88, besting Avalos at 1:13.23 and Ponte at 1:16.33. Thalasselis followed that triumph with a dominant display in Square-1, recording a 10.94 average and an 8.45 single across an eight-person field, finishing comfortably ahead of Ponte's 22.13 average and Juan Ignacio Caneppa's 24.51 mark.
The side events provided another demonstration of tight, repeatable execution throughout the weekend. Emilio Hallak took two gold medals, first leading the Pyraminx with a 5.30 average to hold off Caneppa's 5.41 and Ponte's 5.61. Hallak followed up in Clock, winning with an 8.26 average over Arce González at 9.92 and Ponte at 10.83. In Megaminx, Matías Ponte earned the title with a 1:01.72 average and a 57.78 single, edging out Avalos at 1:03.41 and Ulises Amaru Acosta García at 1:10.68.
