Wanqing Li (李宛晴) has been competing for 2 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.27, set at Nanchang Summer 2026, puts her in the top 0.18% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 72nd in China. Until April 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since April 2024, she has put 215 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 11.03 in April 2024 to 5.27, a 52% improvement. Wanqing has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
