Zhi Yong (勇智) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.22, set at Zibo Open 2025, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 908th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 1 competition since August 2025, he has put 15 official solves on the record across three 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.
