Botian Wang (王渤天)
3×3 · top 8.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2019 · 2019WANG91
Botian Wang (王渤天) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.28, set at Hangzhou Open AM 2021, puts him in the top 8.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,240th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since April 2019, he has put 182 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.95 in April 2019 to 10.28, a 51% improvement. Botian has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
