3×3 · top 8.0% of 288,433 all-time · competing since August 2024 · 2024WANY08
Yishang Wang (王以上) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.16, set at Taizhou Open 2025, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,174th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2024, he has put 48 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.32 in September 2024 to 10.16, a 58% improvement. Yishang 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.
