Zihao Zhang (张梓豪) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.10, set at Zhuhai Pi Day 2026, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,018th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2024, he has put 104 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.63 in December 2024 to 10.10, a 39% improvement. Zihao has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
