Daniel Estrada Chávez Dominates Across Multiple Events at Viva Veracruz 2025English
Twenty-five competitors assembled at the Teatro Municipal Juan Romero Vela for Viva Veracruz 2025, taking on thirteen rounds across seven distinct disciplines on September 13 and 14. In speedcubing, a blistering single solve can capture attention, but the ultimate prize in any official cubing competition rests on unwavering consistency. Across two full days of action in Lerdo de Tejada, Veracruz, Mexico, steady execution under pressure separated the winners from the rest of the field, proving that repeatable control remains the deciding factor on the tournament stage.
The premier Rubik's Cube category served as a masterclass in reliable pacing. Daniel Estrada Chávez clinched the title by posting a winning average of 9.96 seconds in the final round of the classic 3x3x3 Cube, backed by a best single of 8.48 seconds across three rounds of play. Edahi Bermudez Pérez took the second step on the podium with an average of 10.22 seconds, while Rodrigo Alarcon Benito claimed third place with an 11.14 average. These steady 3x3 results highlighted how narrow margins reward systematic accuracy over pure flash.
Estrada Chávez did not stop with the main event, mounting a remarkable multi-event campaign across the schedule. In 3x3x3 One-Handed, he secured victory with an average of 18.58 seconds and a single of 16.26, holding off Rodrigo Alarcon Benito at 20.43 and Miguel Angel Ahumada at 21.14. Moving to the 4x4x4 Cube, Estrada Chávez posted a winning average of 37.70 seconds, with Ahumada taking second at 43.63 and Raul Salguero Gallardo taking third in 45.75. His steady hands delivered across all formats throughout the weekend.
The big cubes and side puzzles further reflected the same commanding consistency. In Megaminx, Estrada Chávez clocked a winning average of 1:04.81, outlasting Ahumada at 1:08.96 and José Leonardo Toledo Barcelata at 1:22.55. When the 7x7x7 Cube came to the table, Estrada Chávez logged a 3:10.31 average, leading Jose Alberto Juarez Vazquez at 4:19.49 and Raul Salguero Gallardo at 4:23.80. Across five distinct disciplines, Estrada Chávez proved that maintaining a tight range of execution across entire rounds delivers gold medals.
The remaining events at Viva Veracruz 2025 produced equally disciplined champions. In the 2x2x2 Cube, Miguel Angel Ahumada captured top honors with a clean 2.82 average and a 2.13 single, edging Estrada Chávez, who finished second with a 3.82 average, and Edahi Bermudez Pérez in third at 4.15. The Pyraminx final belonged to Bermudez Pérez, whose 3.51 average and 2.91 single took first place ahead of Diego Antonio Peredo Viveros at 3.88 and Ahumada at 7.96. The 2025 gathering in Lerdo de Tejada showcased domestic excellence, with Mexico claiming all twenty-one podium places awarded.
