Yuyang Liu has been competing for 3 years. Their best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 33.01, set at Falkirk Autumn 2026, puts them in the top 5.0% of the 85,040 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 509th in China. Until November 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 41 competitions since May 2023, they have put 1,053 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, their 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Their 3×3 best has come down from 14.90 in May 2023 to 9.19, a 38% improvement. Yuyang has entered 41 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
