Zejing Zhang (张泽菁) has been competing for 7 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.76, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2024, puts her in the top 3.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 439th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since August 2019, she has put 236 official solves on the record across six events.

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.
