Jingyi Zhu has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.38, set at Super Duper San Diego 2024, puts her in the top 3.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,981st in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since April 2022, she has put 259 official solves on the record across six events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 13.07 in April 2022 to 8.38, a 36% improvement. Jingyi has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
