Sichuan Lu (陆思川) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.24, set at Guilin Open 2018, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 595th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since May 2017, he has put 159 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 9.65 in May 2017 to 7.24, a 25% improvement. Sichuan has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
