Yuhe Zhao (赵禹赫)

3×3 · top 1.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018ZHAO20

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 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 564th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2018, he has put 117 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.29 in April 2018 to 7.20, a 56% improvement. Yuhe has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
