Yanru Sun (孙琰茹) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.41, set at Xi'an New Year 2025, puts her in the top 0.32% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 34th in China. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since December 2023, she has put 513 official solves on the record across five events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 10.90 in December 2023 to 6.07, a 44% improvement. Yanru has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
