Qi Wang (王琪) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 17.23, set at Ulanqab Small Cubes 2026, puts him in the top 31.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 11,537th in China. Across 8 competitions since May 2014, he has put 122 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.75 in May 2014 to 17.23, a 38% improvement. Qi 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.
