Wenda Jiang (江闻达) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 33.66, set at Oakville Autumn Limited 2018, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 552nd in China. Until November 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since August 2013, he has put 192 official solves on the record across three events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.46 in August 2013 to 9.56, a 23% improvement. Wenda has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
