Xinyan Hong (洪心妍) has been competing for 12 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.77, set at Dongguan Open 2017, puts her in the top 9.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,817th in China. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2014, she has put 82 official solves on the record across four events.

Xinyan 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.
