Junxian Cao (曹俊贤) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.23, set at GDSY Open 2017, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 939th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since March 2016, he has put 89 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.14 in March 2016 to 11.75, an 11% improvement. Junxian has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
