Haojun Qin (秦浩钧) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.91, set at Hubei University Shahu Spring 2018, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,776th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since November 2016, he has put 186 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.59 in November 2016 to 8.91, a 29% improvement. Haojun 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.
