Yue Gao (高越) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.71, set at Fushun Open 2024, puts him in the top 1.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 393rd in China. Until January 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2019, he has put 166 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.99 in November 2019 to 6.71, a 48% improvement. Yue has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
