Chenghan Li (李成涵) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.59, set at Beijing Autumn Rivalry 2026, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 779th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2024, he has put 77 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 87% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.59 in April 2024 to 7.59, a 21% improvement. Chenghan has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
