3×3 one-handed · top 5.4% of 73,695 all-time · competing since August 2019 · 2019SUNT01
Tianyu Sun (孙天宇) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 13.61, set at Xuzhou Open 2024, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 502nd in China. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since August 2019, he has put 36 official solves on the record across five events. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 19.44 in August 2019 to 13.61, a 30% improvement. Tianyu has entered two 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.
