Yanzhe Yang (杨言喆) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 13.43, set at Yunnan Open 2019, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 470th in China. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2017, he has put 92 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.41 in August 2017 to 10.07, a 19% improvement. Yanzhe has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
