Yanxi Zhang (张妍熙)
4×4 · top 7.5% of 85,040 all-time · competing since December 2025 · 2025ZHAY19
Yanxi Zhang (张妍熙) has been competing for 10 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 7.5% of the 85,040 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 782nd in China. Until July 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since December 2025, she has put 59 official solves on the record across four events. Yanxi has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
