Jingyao Sun (孙靖尧) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 11.78, set at Beijing Summer 2025, puts him in the top 9.4% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 144th in China. Until October 2009, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2024, he has put 49 official solves on the record across three events. Jingyao has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
