3×3 one-handed · top 0.54% of 74,621 all-time · competing since December 2025 · 2025HEYA01
Yanqing He (何延青) has been competing for 10 months. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 9.05, set at Zhangzhou Open 2026, puts him in the top 0.54% of the 74,621 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 46th in China. Until November 2013, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2025, he has put 119 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 10.33 in December 2025 to 9.05, a 12% improvement. Yanqing has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
