Yuhang Zhang (张宇航) has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.22, set at China Championship 2019, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 97th in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since May 2009, he has put 547 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 39.50 in May 2009 to 8.54, a 78% improvement. Yuhang has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
