Hangzhou Open 2026

Inside the halls of the Btg-Nanyuan Kaihao Hotel, the distinct rhythmic clack of turning plastic echoed across tournament tables as the Hangzhou Open 2026 got underway. A packed venue in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China welcomed 275 competitors on May 23, 2026, creating a lively setting for high-stakes speedcubing. Officials guided waves of entrants through inspection zones, while judges carefully reset timers after each attempt. The one-day gathering packed 14 rounds across six official disciplines into a tight schedule, demanding total focus from contenders navigating preliminary stages and medal finals.

Nowhere was the tension sharper than in the mean-of-three events, where the format offers zero margin for error. Unlike the standard average-of-five format used in other disciplines, where the fastest and slowest times are removed, every single solve counts toward the final mark. In 3x3x3 Blindfolded, one slight slip during memorisation or execution results in a recorded failure that ruins the entire mean. Yifan Wang (王逸帆) navigated those unforgiving conditions masterfully in the 31-competitor field, logging a winning average of 17.00 seconds alongside a best single of 15.07 seconds. Jinghan Yang (杨景涵) claimed second place with a 22.15 average, while Zhe Wang (王哲) earned third with 29.24.

The 3x3x3 Cube competition stood as the centrepiece of the schedule, drawing 260 competitors across four gruelling rounds. When the decisive 3x3 results were tallied, Yiheng Wang (王艺衡) captured first place with an impressive winning average of 4.42 seconds, bolstered by a best single of 3.76 seconds on the classic Rubik's Cube. The battle at the top was exceptionally close, with Xuanyi Geng (耿暄一) securing the second spot on the podium at 4.53 seconds. Yufang Du (杜昱方) completed the top three with an average of 4.60 seconds in a remarkable showcase of precision.

Yiheng Wang (王艺衡) followed up that success by taking a second gold medal in the 2x2x2 Cube, topping a field of 138 competitors over three rounds. Wang delivered a lightning-fast winning average of 1.05 seconds, supported by the event single best of 0.93 seconds. Chengze Liu (刘承泽) took the second step on the podium with a 1.43 average, narrowly edging out Kaixi Guo (郭铠希), who finished third at 1.47 seconds. The fast-paced category highlighted how fraction-of-a-second margins separate the podium finishers in modern speed cubing.

Away from the top positions on the scoreboards, personal milestones offered compelling narratives throughout the cubing competition. Wubo Duan (段伍搏) entered four events and achieved a massive Pyraminx personal best of 2.31 seconds, which was 79.7 percent faster than their previous best of 11.37, while also improving their Skewb personal best by 52.2 percent to 6.38 seconds and trimming their 2x2x2 Cube mark to 5.89 seconds. Zihang Cheng (程梓航) tackled four disciplines, logging a first ever attempt at 2x2x2 Cube of 7.80 seconds, alongside a Skewb personal best of 10.48 seconds that was 60.3 percent faster than their earlier 26.37, and a Pyraminx personal best of 13.34 seconds.

Other competitors similarly expanded their repertoire and reached new performance levels. Kaiwen Du (杜楷文) competed in five events, securing a best finish of 17th place in Pyraminx, making a first ever attempt at Clock with a 22.72 solve, while recording a Skewb personal best of 3.82 seconds that was 55.4 percent faster than their previous 8.57 and a 2x2x2 Cube personal best of 2.40 seconds. Chenggeng Jin (金诚庚) contested five events, earning 15th place in 3x3x3 Blindfolded, logging first ever attempts at Skewb in 6.74 seconds and Pyraminx in 4.54 seconds, and cutting their 2x2x2 Cube personal best by 49.9 percent down to 1.68 seconds. Muchen Jiang (蒋沐宸) undertook five events with a top finish of 45th in Clock, registering debut marks in Pyraminx with 6.14, Skewb with 5.57, and Clock with 31.01. Shengxi Zhang (张胜希) took on three events, posting debut attempts in 2x2x2 Cube at 7.20 seconds and Pyraminx at 7.10 seconds, while cutting their 3x3x3 Cube personal best to 15.41 seconds, an improvement of 28.3 percent.

The remaining puzzle events brought further excitement to the Btg-Nanyuan Kaihao Hotel floor. In the single-round Clock contest featuring 46 competitors, Zhe Wang (王哲) took first place with a winning average of 5.35 seconds and a best single of 4.73 seconds, ahead of Kaixi Guo (郭铠希) in second at 5.76 seconds and Zheqi Shi (施哲骐) in third at 7.08 seconds. In Skewb, Kaixi Guo (郭铠希) topped the 72-competitor bracket across two rounds with an average of 2.20 seconds, followed by Jiayao Guo (郭家瑶) at 2.82 seconds and Mingze Lin (林铭泽) at 3.25 seconds.

The Pyraminx concluded the weekend's podiums across three full rounds of action. Lingkun Jiang (姜凌坤) earned first place among 86 competitors with a 1.67 winning average and a single of 1.19 seconds, leading Jiahan Li (李嘉涵) who averaged 2.11 seconds and Xuyang Chen (陈徐洋) who averaged 2.36 seconds. China swept all 18 podium positions awarded throughout the WCA competition. As equipment was packed away, the Hangzhou Open 2026 concluded as a standout celebration of community and competitive resolve, setting a high standard for all participants heading into the next chapter of the season.
