Yifeng Xiong (熊毅峰) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.96, set at Shenyang Autumn 2025, puts him in the top 0.47% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 180th in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2024, he has put 140 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 59% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 6.70 in December 2024 to 5.96, an 11% improvement. Yifeng has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
