Yuzhe Wang (王语哲) has been competing for 6 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 4.60, set at Chengdu Summer 2024, puts him in the top 0.056% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 38th in China. Until October 2017, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since January 2021, he has put 445 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 9.54 in January 2021 to 4.60, a 52% improvement. Yuzhe has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
