La Tường Phong
3×3 · top 2.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023PHON03
La Tường Phong has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.91, set at cubingHCM 3x3 Winter 2024, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 145th in Vietnam. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since July 2023, he has put 97 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.01 in July 2023 to 7.91, a 34% improvement. La has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
