Taoyuan Airport Cube Day 2025

Inside the bustling terminal setting of Taoyuan International Airport, the rhythmic clack of turning puzzle layers filled the air as solving mats lit up across the competition hall. Timers reset and stopwatches paused as 176 competitors gathered in Taoyuan, Taiwan, for an intense weekend of tournament play across seven different disciplines on November 29 and 30.

The regional pride of local solvers was on full display at Taoyuan Airport Cube Day 2025, with competitors from Taiwan capturing 20 out of the 21 podium spots across the meet. Kai-Wen Wang established his authority across multiple events, anchoring the home contingent with dominant runs through the 20 total rounds of action in this major cubing competition.

The marquee 3x3 results saw Wang secure the championship with a 6.47 winning average and a round-best single of 5.82. He fended off fellow Taiwanese challengers Chih-Hsiang Yang, who earned second place at 7.48, and Yu-Chia Chang, who posted a 7.72 average for third.
