Yuyang Xie (谢语洋) has been competing for 2 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 4.94, set at Hangzhou Open 2026, puts her in the top 0.11% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 54th in China. Until November 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since September 2024, she has put 218 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 64% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 8.30 in September 2024 to 4.94, a 40% improvement. Yuyang has entered 13 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.
