Shenyang Spring 2025

Yiheng Wang delivered a masterclass at the Aier Ophthalmology venue on April 13, 2025, capturing victory in the premier 3x3x3 Cube event with a phenomenal 4.21 winning average and a single of 4.06. From that blistering performance, the scope of Shenyang Spring 2025 expanded across a demanding slate of 13 rounds across six events. A total of 202 competitors gathered in Shenyang, Liaoning, China, creating one of the most densely contested environments on the regional calendar. Navigating through multiple elimination stages required absolute consistency from every participant who stepped up to the timer.

The depth of talent made advancing through each stage an immense challenge, especially in the flagship Rubik's Cube event where 181 contenders battled across three intense rounds. Securing a spot in the final demanded extraordinary focus, as the 3x3 results demonstrated. Xuanyi Geng secured second place on the podium with a 5.09 average, while Zhaokun Li earned third place by recording a 5.79 average. The margins between advancing and missing the cut shrank with every round, turning this WCA competition into a true test of speedcubing endurance.

Yiheng Wang was not finished with just one title, returning to top the 2x2x2 Cube event among a field of 127 competitors. Wang posted a winning average of 1.35 and an individual best single of 0.96 across two rounds. Zhiyuan Ma pushed the pace to take second place with a 1.93 average, while Chenhao Ma followed closely behind in third with a 2.04 average. The intensity in the shorter format highlighted just how unforgiving modern speed cubing has become when fractions of a second decide entire podiums.

The side events at this cubing competition proved equally demanding, drawing seasoned specialists across varied puzzle disciplines. Lingkun Jiang claimed the Pyraminx title against 91 competitors, matching the day's winning standard with a 1.35 average and a best single of 1.05. Kaixi Guo finished second in the event with a 2.24 average, edging out Yening Liu, who finished third with a 2.25 average. Zhiyuan Ma captured the Skewb victory out of 63 participants with a 2.23 average, followed closely by Kaixi Guo in second with a 2.26 average and Zizhen Li in third with a 2.67 average.

Precision under pressure defined the Clock and blindfolded disciplines. Yening Liu took top honors in Clock among 44 competitors, registering a winning average of 4.70 and a best single of 3.43. Kaixi Guo took the second podium spot with a 4.85 average, while Zhiyuan Ma collected third with 6.49. In 3x3x3 Blindfolded, where pure memorisation meets rapid execution, Mingxuan Wu topped the field of 33 solvers with a best single of 18.97. Hongyu Jiang earned second place with a single of 23.80, and Shenghui Yuan secured third with 36.84.

Beneath the battle for podium trophies, several competitors produced massive breakthroughs that revealed the true depth of the tournament. Mingyang Gao delivered the most dramatic leap of the day in the 3x3x3 Cube, cutting their personal best down to 14.91 from a previous 42.47, an improvement of 64.9 percent, while also taking on their first ever attempt at Pyraminx to record an 11.42 single. Peng Wang also surged forward, taking on four events, making a first ever attempt at Clock with a time of 17.15, and slashing their Pyraminx personal best by 60.3 percent from 16.82 down to 6.67. Hanmo Hou tackled five events, achieving an 8th-place finish in Pyraminx, logging a first Clock attempt of 8.89, dropping their Skewb personal best by 58.5 percent to 4.38, and cutting their Pyraminx mark by 54.6 percent to 2.27.

The personal milestones continued across multiple divisions as more solvers expanded their competitive ranges. Yuheng Wang competed in two events, recording a first ever attempt at 2x2x2 Cube with a 3.44 and trimming their 3x3x3 Cube personal best by 55.2 percent from 19.89 to 8.92. Yutong Li likewise posted a first ever attempt at 2x2x2 Cube with a 4.47 and improved their 3x3x3 Cube mark by 49.7 percent from 18.65 down to 9.38. Taking on the broadest schedule of the group, Jiaqi Jin entered six events, logging a first ever attempt at 3x3x3 Blindfolded with 5:34.12, a first Clock attempt of 10.33, and a 40.5 percent personal best improvement in Pyraminx down to 5.69.

When the final timers stopped, Shenyang Spring 2025 concluded having demonstrated the sheer caliber and enthusiasm present across the entire Chinese speedcubing scene. From the relentless precision at the top of the standings to the dozens of personal milestones achieved throughout the day, the competition delivered high-caliber action from opening solves to the final podium presentations.
