Wanying Deng (邓婉莹) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 4.53, set at Guangzhou GraDUAL 3x3 II 2026, puts her in the top 0.05% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 35th in China. Until May 2018, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since November 2023, she has put 318 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 7.66 in November 2023 to 4.53, a 41% improvement. Wanying has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
