Qiongli Xu (徐琼莉)

3×3 one-handed · top 4.0% of 73,695 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017XUQI02

Qiongli Xu (徐琼莉) has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.70, set at Hangzhou Spring 2024, puts her in the top 4.0% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 348th in China. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since November 2017, she has put 208 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 14.54 in November 2017 to 9.13, a 37% improvement. Qiongli has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
