Yuhang Chen (陈宇航) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.85, set at Guilin Open 2024, puts him in the top 0.41% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 161st in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since October 2023, he has put 425 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 80% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 12.19 in October 2023 to 10.43, a 14% improvement. Yuhang has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
