Yifan Wang (王逸凡) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.56, set at Start of Summer Beijing 2026, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,427th in China. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2025, he has put 92 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.02 in January 2025 to 9.56, a 20% improvement. Yifan has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
