Jinhao Zhang (张金浩) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 15.36, set at Beijing Summer 2019, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 74,621 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 871st in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2015, he has put 79 official solves on the record across seven events.

Jinhao 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.
