Wanting Zhang (张婉婷) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 16.12, set at Xuchang Open 2017, puts her in the top 28.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10,445th in China. Across 12 competitions since June 2016, she has put 153 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 4 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 41.79 in June 2016 to 16.12, a 61% improvement. Wanting has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
