Zhaoyu Huai (槐钊玉) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.01, set at Beijing Winter 2018, puts her in the top 7.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,921st in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2016, she has put 99 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 12.69 in October 2016 to 10.01, a 21% improvement. Zhaoyu has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
