Winston Wang has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.82, set at Saint John's Summer 2026, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,486th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since February 2024, he has put 119 official solves on the record across four events.

Winston has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
