The Fastest Female Sudoku Player Ever

We interview the incredible Tantan Dai from China.  Tantan is currently one of the top two or three sudoku solvers in the world.  You can watch Tantan speed-solve three puzzles in this video; to get a feel for how fast she is, you can play these three puzzles at the links below!  We have also uploaded a separate video of Tantan explaining how to solve a variant sudoku on Patreon (link further below).

Puzzle 1:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/su...
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.  Each marked 10-cell line contains all the digits from 1-9 and one repeated digit.  The repeated digits must be at the ends of the line.

Puzzle 2:

Puzzle 3:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/su...

Puzzles 2 and 3 are both normal classic sudoku, so no extra rules!
