Shuyang Zhang (张舒洋) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.41, set at Guangzhou Grand Open 2026, puts her in the top 2.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 240th in China. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since April 2024, she has put 412 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 11.78 in April 2024 to 10.15, a 14% improvement. Shuyang has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
