Jiarui Xiong (熊家瑞) has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.42, set at Hefei Winter Open 2023, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 237th in China. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since March 2021, he has put 234 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 37.85 in March 2021 to 8.24, a 78% improvement. Jiarui has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
