Jinhui Gong (龚晋辉) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.13, set at Edinburgh Summer 2023, puts him in the top 3.2% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 272nd in China. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2019, he has put 102 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 17.67 in April 2019 to 12.13, a 31% improvement. Jinhui has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
