Xiaoying Hu (胡笑颖) has been competing for 5 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.30, set at Beijing Autumn Begins 2026, puts her in the top 8.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,280th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2021, she has put 40 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 31.07 in April 2021 to 10.30, a 67% improvement. Xiaoying has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
