Zitong Wang (王籽童)
3×3 · top 3.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2018 · 2018WANZ27
Zitong Wang (王籽童) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.13, set at Shenzhen Open 2024, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,097th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2018, he has put 69 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.29 in August 2018 to 8.13, a 53% improvement. Zitong has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
