Yiwei Shen (申艺玮) has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.77, set at Xi'an Winter 2013, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,656th in China. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since August 2011, he has put 35 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.58 in August 2011 to 9.77, a 16% improvement. Yiwei has entered two competitions.

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.
