Junxiang Yang (杨钧翔) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.02, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2025, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,000th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2023, he has put 77 official solves on the record across five events.

Junxiang has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
