Yanxi Zhang (张妍熙)

4×4 · top 7.4% of 83,917 all-time · competing since December 2025 · 2025ZHAY19

Yanxi Zhang (张妍熙) has been competing for 9 months. Her best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 35.73, set at Foshan Open 2026, puts her in the top 7.4% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 751st in China. Until July 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since December 2025, she has put 34 official solves on the record across three events. Her 4×4 best has come down from 43.76 in December 2025 to 35.73, an 18% improvement. Yanxi has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
