Gewu Shen (沈格物) has been competing for a year.

Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since August 2025, she has put 20 official solves on the record across one event.

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.
