Keyang Zhao (赵柯炀) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.22, set at Huzhou Open 2024, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,175th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since December 2019, he has put 66 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 37.26 in December 2019 to 10.22, a 73% improvement. Keyang has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
