Weina Bao (鲍伟娜)
3×3 blindfolded · top 6.4% of 12,178 all-time · competing since December 2015 · 2015BAOW01
Weina Bao (鲍伟娜) has been competing for 11 years. Her best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 38.55, set at Heilongjiang Colleges Open 2017, puts her in the top 6.4% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 109th in China. Until August 2009, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since December 2015, she has put 53 official solves on the record across four events. Her 3×3 blindfolded best has come down from 1:02.66 in October 2016 to 38.55, a 38% improvement. Weina has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
