Xianjie Zhao (赵显杰) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 33.69, set at China Championship 2017, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 557th in China. Until November 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2017, he has put 98 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. Xianjie 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.
