Handi Zhang (张涵涤)

3×3 · top 0.52% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2023 · 2023ZHAN76

Handi Zhang (张涵涤) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.06, set at Shenyang Autumn 2025, puts her in the top 0.52% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 193rd in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2023, she has put 118 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 6.74 in December 2023 to 6.06, a 10% improvement. Handi has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
