Jinlong Li (李金龙) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.77, set at Sydney Autumn 2015, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 460th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2013, he has put 255 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.93 in August 2013 to 9.83, a 42% improvement. Jinlong has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
