Lingjie Xia (夏灵洁) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 26.21, set at Wuhan Crimson Autumn 2026, puts her in the top 3.3% of the 12,334 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 53rd in China. Until June 2013, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2024, she has put 25 official solves on the record across one event. Her 3×3 blindfolded best has come down from 30.19 in April 2024 to 26.21, a 13% improvement. Lingjie has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
