Yeonwoo Kwon (권연우) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.77, set at Seoul Winter 2019, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 149th in Republic of Korea. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since February 2018, he has put 60 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 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.62 in February 2018 to 7.77, a 27% improvement. Yeonwoo 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.
