Ruixuan Zhang (张睿轩) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.55, set at Heze Open 2019, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,470th in China. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since April 2019, he has put 83 official solves on the record across seven events.

Ruixuan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
