Yifan Shen (沈一帆) has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.08, set at Wuxi Autumn 2018, puts her in the top 8.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 961st in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2018, she has put 38 official solves on the record across three events. Yifan 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.
