Xiaoran Xiang (向小冉) has been competing for 7 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.82, set at Zhengzhou Summer 2021, puts her in the top 16.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6,592nd in China. Across 6 competitions since August 2019, she has put 31 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 4 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 54.89 in August 2019 to 12.82, a 77% improvement. Xiaoran 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.
