Xuyi Shen (沈许怡) has been competing for 11 months. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.39, set at Guangzhou GraDUAL 3x3 I 2026, puts her in the top 1.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 663rd in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2025, she has put 93 official solves on the record across seven events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 10.43 in November 2025 to 7.39, a 29% improvement. Xuyi 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.
