Quanyu Li (李荃宇) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.66, set at Start of Summer Beijing 2026, puts him in the top 0.32% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 131st in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since January 2025, he has put 260 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 56% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.59 in January 2025 to 5.66, a 34% improvement. Quanyu has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
