6-year-old Chinese girl sets women’s Rubik’s Cube speed record
In a recent women's world record for solving Rubik's cubes, a 6-year-old Chinese girl named Lian Yunzhi achieved an impressive average time of just over four seconds per cube. Lian first broke the record in a World Cube Association-certified competition in Wuhan, China, and later improved her time to 4.27 seconds at a race in Guangzhou.
She is the only female speedcuber to have achieved an average below 4.5 seconds. Lian began attempting to solve Rubik's cubes at the age of four, and her solving times used to take her around 90 seconds. After struggling with competitiveness, she gradually developed confidence and now trains for several hours daily, with her parents even taking her to Shanghai for coaching from top experts.
