Yang Li (李洋) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 5.41, set at NEU Open 2019, puts him in the top 21.3% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,326th in China. Across 10 competitions since July 2013, he has put 75 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.34 in July 2013 to 17.23, a 15% improvement. Yang 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.
