Runlin Lü (吕润林) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.63, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2019, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 487th in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2017, he has put 220 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.54 in April 2017 to 14.39, a 26% improvement. Runlin has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
