Shengxi Zhao (赵圣曦)

3×3 · top 0.09% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2024 · 2024ZHAO27

Shengxi Zhao (赵圣曦) has been competing for 2 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 4.83, set at Weihai Open 2026, puts her in the top 0.09% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 47th in China. Until November 2016, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2024, she has put 109 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 5.77 in April 2024 to 4.83, a 16% improvement. Shengxi has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
