Haotian Gu (顾浩田)
3×3 · top 5.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017GUHA02
Haotian Gu (顾浩田) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.20, set at Wuhan Open 2021, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,059th in China. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since November 2017, he has put 193 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Haotian has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
