Shanhong Yang (杨善闳) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.10, set at Tianjin Open 2024, puts him in the top 0.55% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 203rd in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since July 2023, he has put 295 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Shanhong has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
