Yuzheng Lin (蔺雨筝)
3×3 · top 7.2% of 288,433 all-time · competing since January 2025 · 2025LINY01
Yuzheng Lin (蔺雨筝) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.89, set at Beijing Autumn Rivalry 2026, puts her in the top 7.2% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,852nd in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since January 2025, she has put 52 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 4 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 25.41 in January 2025 to 9.89, a 61% improvement. Yuzheng has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
