Sheng Li (李圣)
3×3 · top 4.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2020 · 2020LISH02
Sheng Li (李圣) has been competing for 6 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.83, set at Wuhan Open 2021, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,708th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since December 2020, he has put 78 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.48 in December 2020 to 8.83, a 62% improvement. Sheng 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.
