Yizhou Fang (方一舟) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 10.53, set at Beijing Autumn Begins 2026, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 74,621 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 128th in China. Until December 2011, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2018, he has put 205 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.50 in December 2018 to 7.78, a 50% improvement. Yizhou has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
