Ziren Wang (王梓任) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.06, set at Changchun Open 2018, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,909th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2017, he has put 289 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.66 in October 2017 to 9.06, a 22% improvement. Ziren has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
