Qiyu Shao (邵齐语) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.90, set at Beijing Summer 2025, puts her in the top 1.2% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 447th in China. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2024, she has put 122 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 90% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 7.79 in April 2024 to 6.90, an 11% improvement. Qiyu 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.
