Yitong Tian (田逸同)
3×3 · top 6.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2013 · 2013TIAN02
Yitong Tian (田逸同) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.70, set at Zhuhai Open 2017, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,578th in China. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2013, he has put 67 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.30 in July 2013 to 9.70, a 27% improvement. Yitong 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.
