Weiwei Gong (龚为玮)
3×3 · top 7.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2016 · 2016GONG05
Weiwei Gong (龚为玮) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.99, set at Xi'an Open 2018, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,894th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since August 2016, he has put 65 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.93 in August 2016 to 9.99, a 37% improvement. Weiwei has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
