Haodong Bian (卞浩东) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 13.44, set at Asian Championship 2016, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 472nd in China. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since May 2015, he has put 146 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 20.44 in May 2015 to 13.44, a 34% improvement. Haodong 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.
