Donglin Mo (莫东霖) has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.68, set at Guilin Open 2026, puts him in the top 0.32% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 134th in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since May 2021, he has put 94 official solves on the record across three events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 30.05 in May 2021 to 5.68, an 81% improvement. Donglin has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
