Yongguang Wang (王永光) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.94, set at Shenzhen Nanshan Open 2024, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,914th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since May 2014, he has put 103 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.43 in May 2014 to 9.94, a 43% improvement. Yongguang has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
