Jiyi Wang (王吉怡) has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 31.36, set at Bristol August 2025, puts her in the top 3.7% of the 85,040 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 378th in China. Until May 2011, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 22 competitions since December 2017, she has put 671 official solves on the record across eleven events.

Her 5×5 best has come down from 1:39.26 in July 2018 to 57.52, a 42% improvement. Jiyi has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
