Xinrui Zhang (张昕瑞)
4×4 · top 4.7% of 83,917 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017ZHAX11
Xinrui Zhang (张昕瑞) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 32.67, set at Zhengzhou Zeal 2025, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 461st in China. Until November 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since November 2017, he has put 344 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 4×4 best has come down from 1:00.53 in November 2017 to 32.67, a 46% improvement. Xinrui has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
