Xinyi Dong (董欣怡) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.47, set at Shenyang Spring 2025, puts her in the top 2.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 256th in China. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2023, she has put 135 official solves on the record across five events.

Xinyi has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
