Shengzhe Gu (顾圣哲) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.03, set at Fuzhou Summer 2026, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,026th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2025, he has put 84 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.06 in August 2025 to 8.03, a 33% improvement. Shengzhe has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
