Chenxue Ning (宁辰雪)
Skewb · top 4.6% of 73,281 all-time · competing since April 2017 · 2017NING01
Chenxue Ning (宁辰雪) has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.92, set at Nanjing Spring 2018, puts her in the top 4.6% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 253rd in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2017, she has put 131 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 4 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 23.36 in April 2017 to 15.09, a 35% improvement. Chenxue has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
