Zhiya Zheng (郑之雅) has been competing for 6 months. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.05, set at Fuzhou Summer 2026, puts her in the top 2.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,038th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2026, she has put 63 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. Zhiya has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
