Congrats to Zixiong Xu for winning the silver medal in the 3x3 , using the Tianma X3+ core magnetic version!
At the Changsha Xiangjiang Open 2025 held last weekend, Xu Zixiong, who was only ranked 5th in the preliminary ranking of the 3x3 event, delivered a steady performance in the finals and clinched the second-place spot, earning him a silver medal! The cube he used was the Tianma X3+ core magntic version.
In the 1st and 2nd rounds of the competition, his average times for the 3x3 were 9.54 and 9.40 seconds respectively, placing him 5th and 6th. It seemed unlikely that he would make it to the podium. However, in the finals, he maintained his composure and outperformed several leading contenders to achieve this remarkable result! It appears that a strong mindset is indeed crucial in cubing competitions.
