Zhao Zhang (张照) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.83, set at China Championship 2017, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 572nd in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since April 2017, he has put 24 official solves on the record across three events. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.63 in April 2017 to 4.76, a 15% improvement. Zhao has entered two 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.
