Yutong Li (李雨桐)
3×3 · top 5.3% of 288,433 all-time · competing since July 2025 · 2025LIYU07
Yutong Li (李雨桐) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.17, set at Xi'an Autumn 2025, puts her in the top 5.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,065th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2025, she has put 34 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 12.58 in July 2025 to 9.17, a 27% improvement. Yutong 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.
