2×2 · top 3.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2025 · 2025ZHAO02
Jiaheng Zhao (赵家珩) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.76, set at Start of Summer Beijing 2026, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 439th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2025, he has put 78 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.43 in January 2025 to 1.76, a 49% improvement. Jiaheng has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
