Hangwei Yu (禹航伟) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 8.70, set at Special Puzzles in Guangzhou 2019, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 51st in China. Until October 2010, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2017, he has put 106 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His Square-1 best has come down from 22.08 in December 2017 to 8.70, a 61% improvement. Hangwei 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.
