Luoqi Zhao (赵珞琪)
2×2 · top 1.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023ZHAO15
Luoqi Zhao (赵珞琪) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.26, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2025, puts her in the top 1.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 141st in China. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since July 2023, she has put 278 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 67% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 6 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 9.17 in July 2023 to 7.04, a 23% improvement. Luoqi has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
