Changyu Fan (樊昌宇) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.44, set at Xuzhou Winter 2019, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,419th in China. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since November 2018, he has put 162 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.98 in November 2018 to 10.44, a 30% improvement. Changyu has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
