PBQ Santa Cruz 92.2 FM 2026

Fourteen competitors took to the tables in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, generating a steady stream of personal milestones across 11 rounds of action. Hosted at Radio Santa Cruz on May 23, 2026, PBQ Santa Cruz 92.2 FM 2026 offered a focused lineup of eight events that challenged both standard turning and complex memory disciplines. Even in a compact cubing competition, the pressure of the stopwatch delivered sharp performances, demonstrating the dedication of solvers who traveled to test their training under official conditions in this lively speedcubing gathering.

The big cube categories belonged entirely to Samuel Galarce Moscoso, who orchestrated a dominant sweep across three separate disciplines. In the 5x5x5 Cube, Moscoso posted a winning average of 57.79 seconds and recorded the best single of the event at 52.22. Fabricio Andrés Yañez Terrazas followed in second place with an average of 1:04.06, while Jhoel Ariel Espindola Perez secured third place with 1:05.24. Moscoso maintained that control through the 6x6x6 Cube, capturing top honours with an average of 1:47.56 and a single of 1:42.08, ahead of Yañez Terrazas at 1:54.36 and Espindola Perez at 2:03.23.

Moscoso finalized his triple crown on the 7x7x7 Cube, posting an average of 2:56.90 to lead the field over two rounds. Espindola Perez took the second step on the podium with an average of 3:00.83, narrowly besting Yañez Terrazas, who finished third in 3:01.17. The three podiums mirrored one another across the big cube categories, illustrating the depth of local talent in Bolivia as the host country claimed a total of 18 podium spots throughout the day. The precision required for these extended solves highlighted the exacting standard set at PBQ Santa Cruz 92.2 FM 2026.

In the specialist events, Christian Daniel Avila Mendez captured the Clock title, putting together a winning average of 7.75 seconds alongside a single of 7.03 across ten competitors. Sebastián Morón Mariscal earned second place with an average of 8.36, while Yañez Terrazas took third with 9.17. While standard speed cubing rounds often emphasize rapid visual recognition similar to classic Rubik's Cube solving, Avila Mendez demonstrated absolute control over the mechanical gear puzzle to take gold for Spain. Fans following WCA competition updates also watched 3x3 results across the memory categories where technical discipline remained paramount.

The blindfolded events proved to be a rigorous test across the single-day schedule. Henrique Pietro Muraro de Oliveira took the 3x3x3 Blindfolded crown for Brazil with a winning single time of 1:08.07, finishing just ahead of Morón Mariscal at 1:10.95 and Awki Giménez at 1:15.52. Morón Mariscal responded in the 4x4x4 Blindfolded event, earning first place with a successful single of 6:44.48, with Ezequiel Penman Sandoval placing second at 20:27.00. In 3x3x3 Multi-Blind, Argentina representative Awki Giménez achieved victory by solving 7 out of 8 cubes in 44:35, while the demanding 5x5x5 Blindfolded round saw all four entrants register DNFs.

Away from the top steps of the podium, significant personal progress defined the competition floor. Nicolás Mendoza Peña authored one of the sharpest improvements of the meet in Clock, slashing his lifetime personal best down to 8.35 seconds, which was 23.3 percent faster than his prior mark of 10.88, on his way to a fourth-place finish. Giselle Victoria Beramendi Illanes entered two events, recording a 7.7 percent drop in Clock with a new personal best of 16.96 seconds while also logging her first ever attempt at the 5x5x5 Cube, where she stopped the timer at 5:15.17.

Expanding into unfamiliar territory was a theme shared by several other athletes. Santiago Cuellar Ortiz took on two events and delivered his first ever attempt at the 5x5x5 Cube, finishing with a mark of 1:47.33 alongside a fifth-place result in Clock. Alvaro Javier Viscarra Catacora tackled a busy schedule of five events, earning a fifth-place finish in 3x3x3 Blindfolded. Joseph Daniel Blas Sanchez took on four distinct events during the meet, capturing a best finish of fourth place in the 6x6x6 Cube.

These individual achievements captured the true spirit of the gathering as competitors pushed their boundaries across eight challenging events. With participants from Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil, and Spain sharing the venue at Radio Santa Cruz, PBQ Santa Cruz 92.2 FM 2026 delivered an inspiring showcase of determination and technical growth. As the 2026 calendar progresses, the personal bests logged in Santa Cruz provide a solid foundation for every solver stepping up to the official timer in future meets.
