Tianyi Xia (夏天翼)

3×3 · top 6.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2025 · 2025XIAT01

Tianyi Xia (夏天翼) has been competing for 10 months. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.72, set at Beijing Only 3x3 2025, puts her in the top 6.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,597th in China. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2025, she has put 49 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 12.95 in October 2025 to 9.72, a 25% improvement. Tianyi has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
