Shengjie Zhu (朱圣捷)

3×3 · top 19.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016ZHUS01

Shengjie Zhu (朱圣捷) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.50, set at China Championship 2018, puts her in the top 19.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7,461st in China. Across 11 competitions since October 2016, she has put 214 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 4 DNFs. Her 2×2 best has come down from 6.26 in October 2016 to 3.43, a 45% improvement. Shengjie has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
