Yang Qi (祁洋) has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.20, set at China Championship 2015, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 621st in China. Until September 2009, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2011, he has put 140 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 23.93 in March 2012 to 14.20, a 41% 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.
