Junye Qiu (邱俊烨) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.92, set at Nanchang Summer 2026, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,787th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2019, he has put 148 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.25 in May 2019 to 8.92, a 54% improvement. Junye has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
