7-year-old Han Muyao wins all-around title at China Cube Tour stop
Han Muyao, 7, took Suichang’s all-around title with 3x3 results already down to 5.89 seconds for a single and 6.81 for an average.
Seven-year-old Han Muyao turned the Suichang stop of the 2026 China Cube Tour into a statement win, capturing the individual all-around title and adding another fast-rising name to China’s speedcubing scene. The result stood out not just because of her age, but because it came in a format that rewards range, consistency and control across events.
The World Cube Association, which governs competitions for mechanical puzzles operated by twisting groups of pieces, lists Han as Muyao Han (), representing China, under WCA ID 2024HANM01. Her profile shows 6 competitions completed and 92 solves, with official results in 3x3x3 Cube, 2x2x2 Cube and Pyraminx. For a cuber this young, that spread matters: all-around titles are built on fundamentals, not on one isolated specialty.
Han’s personal bests show why she is already dangerous on an official sheet. Her current 3x3x3 record stands at 5.89 seconds for a single and 6.81 seconds for an average, times that put real pressure on older juniors and adult competitors alike. In speedcubing terms, those are not just cute-age numbers. They are the kind of clean, repeatable results that signal a solver who can handle the nerves of competition scrambles and still produce a usable average.
The Suichang victory also fits a broader competition trail that was already in motion before this weekend’s result. Han’s WCA history includes Beijing Winter 2026 and Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2026, along with 2025 stops in Shenyang Spring, Shenyang Autumn and Harbin Open. That is a small but serious circuit footprint, the sort that builds familiarity with regulations, scrambles and round pressure long before a name reaches a headline.
And Han’s title does not land in a vacuum. Cubing China’s public listings show a busy 2026 domestic calendar, including Start of Summer Beijing 2026 on May 1-2 in Beijing and More Than One Cube Shanghai 2026 on June 6-7 in Shanghai. The pace of that circuit helps explain why very young competitors are no longer just occasional curiosities in China. They are entering sanctioned events early, logging solves quickly and, in Han’s case, reaching national-level contention while still in elementary school.
That is what makes the Suichang result feel bigger than a single win. Han Muyao did not simply become the youngest story in the room. She showed how fast elite cubing fundamentals are taking hold in China, one official solve at a time.
