Haoxuan Zhu (朱皓轩)
5×5 · top 0.26% of 41,402 all-time · competing since May 2019 · 2019ZHUH05
Haoxuan Zhu (朱皓轩) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 5×5: a personal-best single of 41.12, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2025, puts him in the top 0.26% of the 41,402 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 13th in China. Until July 2017, no official 5×5 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since May 2019, he has put 175 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 85% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.33 in May 2019 to 7.73, a 42% improvement. Haoxuan has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
