Linhao Li (李林豪) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 9.67, set at Yancheng Spring Open 2026, puts him in the top 0.83% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 67th in China. Until December 2011, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2019, he has put 310 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.38 in April 2019 to 7.51, a 34% improvement. Linhao has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
