Yuhang Zhang (张宇航)
3×3 · top 5.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2019 · 2019ZHAY16
Yuhang Zhang (张宇航) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.09, set at Shandong Open 2019, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,939th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since July 2019, he has put 71 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.50 in July 2019 to 9.09, a 13% improvement. Yuhang has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
