Ziru Wu (武子入) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.98, set at Taiyuan Winter 2018, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 994th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2016, he has put 170 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.65 in August 2016 to 7.98, a 37% improvement. Ziru has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
