Lijie Yang (杨力杰) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.41, set at Xiamen Winter 2019, puts him in the top 8.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,391st in China. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since August 2019, he has put 27 official solves on the record across two events. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.55 in August 2019 to 10.41, a 23% improvement. Lijie has entered two competitions.

The story so far

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.
