Wei Dong (董唯) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.53, set at Hangzhou Autumn 2019, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 690th in China. Until September 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since November 2018, he has put 280 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.66 in November 2018 to 11.39, a 17% improvement. Wei has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
