Li Yang (杨力) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.50, set at Nanjing Autumn 2018, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,335th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since April 2018, he has put 43 official solves on the record across three events. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.94 in April 2018 to 2.50, a 37% improvement. Li has entered two competitions.

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.
