Qiaoyi Wang (王巧艺) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.80, set at Beihai Open 2026, puts her in the top 3.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 474th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since June 2025, she has put 24 official solves on the record across four events. Her 3×3 best has come down from 19.32 in June 2025 to 9.16, a 53% improvement. Qiaoyi 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.
