Yong Ying (应勇) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.58, set at Fuzhou Open 2016, puts him in the top 15.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6,253rd in China. Across 5 competitions since August 2014, he has put 96 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 38.27 in August 2014 to 12.58, a 67% improvement. Yong has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

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.
