Xinrui Lü (吕鑫睿) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 28.82, set at Start of Summer Beijing 2026, puts him in the top 2.2% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 207th in China. Until April 2012, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2025, he has put 126 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.24 in March 2025 to 7.73, a 16% improvement. 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.
