Qinghan Yang (杨清菡) has been competing for 6 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.26, set at Chengdu Welcoming Summer 2026, puts her in the top 3.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,216th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2021, she has put 50 official solves on the record across three events.

Qinghan has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
