Jiayue Yuan (袁嘉跃)
3×3 · top 9.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2017 · 2017YUAN13
Jiayue Yuan (袁嘉跃) has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.71, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2025, puts her in the top 9.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,753rd in China. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since December 2017, she has put 70 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 2 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 14.05 in December 2017 to 10.71, a 24% improvement. Jiayue 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.
