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 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 207th in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since July 2023, he has put 415 official solves on the record across eight events.

Shanhong has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
