Wendong Li (李文东)

3×3 · top 2.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2024 · 2024LIWE02

Wendong Li (李文东) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.05, set at Beijing Winter 2025, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,038th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2024, he has put 54 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.36 in April 2024 to 8.05, a 29% improvement. Wendong has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
