Haotian Wang (王昊天) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 11.71, set at Beijing Spring Special 2021, puts him in the top 9.3% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 139th in China. Until October 2009, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since April 2018, he has put 181 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.89 in April 2018 to 12.74, a 29% improvement. Haotian has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
