Junliang Li (李俊良) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.04, set at Beijing Summer 2025, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 484th in China. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since November 2018, he has put 550 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.59 in November 2018 to 1.42, a 60% improvement. Junliang has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
