Wentao Song (宋文韬) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 19.46, set at Please Be Quiet Beijing 2024, puts him in the top 1.2% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in China. Until November 2016, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since June 2024, he has put 9 official solves on the record across two events. His 3×3 blindfolded best has come down from 22.85 in June 2024 to 19.46, a 15% improvement. Wentao has entered two 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.
