Weijin Xiong (熊伟金) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.34, set at Hengyang Open 2019, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,059th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since July 2018, he has put 261 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.65 in July 2018 to 11.97, a 24% improvement. Weijin has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
