Khang Tran has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.94, set at AZCubing Hamilton Winter 2018, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 456th in Vietnam. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since August 2016, he has put 261 official solves on the record across nine events.

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.
