Yang Ma (马扬) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.79, set at Xinxiang Open 2019, puts him in the top 20.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7,840th in China. Across 5 competitions since November 2017, he has put 78 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.48 in November 2017 to 13.79, a 29% improvement. Yang 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.
