Hang Li (黎珩) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.67, set at Sydney Summer 2023, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,561st in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2017, he has put 114 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.86 in October 2017 to 8.67, a 54% improvement. Hang has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
