Juncai Li (李俊才) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.66, set at Changsha Spring Open 2019, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,547th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since May 2017, he has put 161 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 11.82 in May 2017 to 8.66, a 27% improvement. Juncai 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.
