Kangjie Wang (王康杰) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.09, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2026, puts him in the top 0.75% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 77th in China. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2024, he has put 134 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 2.83 in October 2024 to 1.09, a 61% improvement. Kangjie 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.
