Yixin Zhang (张议心)

3×3 · top 0.11% of 288,433 all-time · competing since March 2025 · 2025ZHAN37

Yixin Zhang (张议心) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 4.94, set at Wuhan Crimson Autumn 2026, puts her in the top 0.11% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 54th in China. Until November 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since March 2025, she has put 234 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 55% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 6.56 in March 2025 to 4.94, a 25% improvement. Yixin has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
