Yaoyang Jin (金垚阳)
4×4 · top 9.7% of 83,917 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017JINY02
Yaoyang Jin (金垚阳) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 37.91, set at XPU Open 2017, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,021st in China. Until October 2009, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2017, he has put 96 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 29% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.67 in October 2017 to 11.75, a 25% improvement. Yaoyang has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
