Yiyi Li (李一伊) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.35, set at Chongqing New Year 2025, puts her in the top 0.72% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 264th in China. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2023, she has put 45 official solves on the record across three events.

Yiyi has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
