Jiahe Zhang (张家赫) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 5×5: a personal-best single of 1:36.17, set at Xi'an Open 2026, puts him in the top 32.4% of the 40,792 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,465th in China. Across 7 competitions since July 2023, he has put 76 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 50.76 in July 2023 to 20.80, a 59% improvement. Jiahe has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
