Jingzhong Yang (杨敬中) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 7×7: a personal-best single of 2:48.29, set at Beijing Autumn Rivalry 2026, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 14,450 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 160th in China. Until September 2012, no official 7×7 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since January 2017, he has put 83 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 5×5 best has come down from 1:27.48 in December 2018 to 1:07.28, a 23% improvement. Jingzhong has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
