Watch: Six-year-old girl breaks women’s Rubik’s Cube world record
Six-year-old Chinese speedcuber Lian Yunzhi broke the women’s 3x3 Rubik’s Cube world record twice in just three days, setting an average time of 4.27 seconds.
A Chinese six-year-old girl, Lian Yunzhi, has shattered the women's speedcubing world record by solving Rubik's Cubes at an average time of 4.27 seconds. Earlier this month, she set the record at a World Cube Association-certified competition in Wuhan, China, clocking an average of 4.52 seconds. Subsequently, Lian improved her time to 4.27 seconds at another competition in Guangzhou, southern China, as reported by state broadcaster CCTV.
Lian is the sole female speedcuber to achieve an average time under 4.5 seconds, according to the World Cube Association. She proudly displays a red hairband with a bow during her performances. Lian's journey began when she was four years old, initially taking 90 seconds to solve a cube. Her mother, Lin Yangxi, noted her transformation from an introverted child to a confident competitor who now enjoys recognition.
Lian has mastered over 1,300 solving formulas and trains for two to three hours daily, attending top coaching sessions in Shanghai to further hone her skills.
