Ziyi Lu (陆梓熠) has been competing for 2 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.38, set at Yancheng Spring Open 2026, puts her in the top 0.21% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 88th in China. Until April 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since April 2024, she has put 507 official solves on the record across five events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 9.26 in April 2024 to 5.38, a 42% improvement. Ziyi has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

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.
