Yuchan Yang (杨玉婵)

Clock · top 6.9% of 32,048 all-time · competing since February 2025 · 2025YANG09

Yuchan Yang (杨玉婵) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 5.90, set at Chengdu Embracing Summer 2026, puts her in the top 6.9% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 139th in China. Until July 2011, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since February 2025, she has put 35 official solves on the record across four events. Her 3×3 best has come down from 13.97 in February 2025 to 10.24, a 27% improvement. Yuchan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
