Yuhe Zhao (赵禹赫) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.20, set at Shenyang Autumn 2025, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 581st in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2018, he has put 137 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.29 in April 2018 to 7.20, a 56% improvement. Yuhe has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
