Yingquan Xiang (向英权)
Clock · top 9.5% of 32,048 all-time · competing since April 2017 · 2017XIAN04
Yingquan Xiang (向英权) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 6.61, set at Guangdong Open 2021, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 205th in China. Until June 2010, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2017, he has put 68 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.79 in April 2017 to 10.78, a 39% improvement. Yingquan 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.
