Xinrui Gu (顾心睿) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.43, set at Xuzhou Winter 2019, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 617th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2019, he has put 111 official solves on the record across five events.

Xinrui 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.
