Gaoxuan Xu (徐高萱)

3×3 · top 3.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2026 · 2026XUGA01

Gaoxuan Xu (徐高萱) has been competing for 5 months. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.59, set at Shanghai Summer 2026, puts her in the top 3.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,491st in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2026, she has put 30 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 10.52 in March 2026 to 8.59, an 18% improvement. Gaoxuan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
