Xi'an Autumn 2025

Yiheng Wang delivered an astonishing 1.03-second average in the final of the 2x2x2 Cube, setting the defining standard of high-stakes competition at the Xi'an Guangcheng Hotel. Across a packed day of intense match-ups on November 2, 2025, the tournament brought together 142 competitors in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China, to contest six distinct disciplines across 13 rounds of racing. With finals contested at the highest level of execution, every turn carried championship stakes for those chasing gold.

The 3x3x3 Cube, traditional centerpiece of any cubing competition, drew 127 entrants through three rigorous elimination stages. Yiheng Wang completed a memorable double victory, capturing first place with a 4.59-second final average and a best single of 4.05 seconds. Yufang Du pressed hard with a 4.84 average to take second place, while Ziyu Wu finished third on the podium with a 6.53 average, capping off a display of world-class 3x3 results on the classic Rubik's Cube stage.

Earlier in the day during 2x2x2 Cube action, Yiheng Wang led the 76-competitor field with his blistering 1.03 average, which included a fast single of 0.89 seconds. Runqi Du secured second place on the podium with an average of 1.67 seconds, closely followed by Tian Xia in third at 1.74 seconds. The early rounds saw competitors refining their solutions under pressure, creating one of the quickest finals witnessed in any modern speed cubing bracket.

Ziyu Wu stamped his authority on the larger puzzles, securing a pair of victories across different formats. In the 4x4x4 Cube, where 54 competitors battled across two rounds, Wu took first place with a 23.44-second winning average and a 22.98 single. Hua Huang claimed the runner-up spot with a 26.69 average, and Xuyi Wang completed the podium in 27.55 seconds. Wu doubled his gold medal haul in Megaminx, navigating the twelve-sided puzzle over two rounds among 21 competitors to win with a 25.15 average and a 24.18 single.

The specialised puzzles produced their own tense showdowns. Yening Liu claimed victory in Clock, averaging 4.66 seconds across the final to lead 37 competitors, with Ziye Zhang taking second place at 5.35 and Yanchen Long third at 5.39. In Square-1, Zijia Liu clinched the title from a 22-person field with a 6.91 average, holding off Zhiquan Li who finished second in 7.66 seconds and Kexin Chen in third at 8.82 seconds.

Away from the top step of the podium, Xi'an Autumn 2025 showcased substantial individual progress and bold debuts across the roster. Xianfeng Zhang achieved a massive breakthrough in Clock, recording a personal best of 11.03 seconds that improved upon his previous mark by 70.6 percent to finish 21st. Haoran Jing took on a heavy program of six events, logging his first ever tournament attempts in Clock with an 8.81 single and Megaminx with a 1:03.23 single, alongside a 27.9 percent personal best improvement in Square-1 to reach 16.37 seconds and a career-best 4th-place finish in 2x2x2 Cube.

Other competitors similarly expanded their repertoire during the WCA competition. Lee Yi Chak contested three events, posting a first attempt of 44.17 in 4x4x4 Cube, a 43 percent personal best improvement to 3.66 in 2x2x2 Cube, and a 10.74 in 3x3x3 Cube.

Xi Yang made an official debut in 2x2x2 Cube with 6.06 and improved his 3x3x3 Cube best by 31.2 percent down to 14.16, while Junxiang Yang tackled his first 4x4x4 Cube attempt at 48.49 and cut his 2x2x2 Cube mark by 27 percent to 3.16.

As the final timers were cleared and the apparatus packed away, all 18 podium positions across the tournament belonged to Chinese athletes, demonstrating extraordinary depth throughout the national speedcubing ranks. From lightning sprints in the 2x2x2 Cube to marathon duels on the Megaminx, Xi'an Autumn 2025 delivered a benchmark single-day gathering that set a formidable standard for the upcoming season.
