Xinyu Li (李忻钰)
3×3 one-handed · top 1.6% of 73,695 all-time · competing since June 2025 · 2025LIXI07
Xinyu Li (李忻钰) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 10.70, set at Nanchang Summer 2026, puts her in the top 1.6% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 134th in China. Until July 2011, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since June 2025, she has put 284 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Xinyu has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
