Yousheng Xuan (玄有圣) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.25, set at Shenyang Spring 2024, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,120th in China. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2023, he has put 77 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.61 in October 2023 to 9.25, a 20% improvement. Yousheng has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
