Wanting Cao (曹宛婷) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.49, set at Asian Championship 2016, puts her in the top 3.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,410th in China.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 12.03 in May 2016 to 8.49, a 29% improvement. Wanting has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
