Career

Her first international championship was the Junior B World Championship in 2004. When a Chinese team debuted at the 2005 World Championship, she represented China as Skip. At the 2008 World Cup , she and her teammates were the first Asian team to win a medal (silver) at a World Cup. The following year they showed the strongest and most consistent performances of all teams at the World Cup in South Korea and became world champions. She won her last medal at a world championship in 2011 by finishing third. Wang led the Chinese team as Skip continuously from 2005 to 2013 and then again at the 2017 World Cup , in which she only reached 11th place.

At the Curling Continental Cup 2008 she was named best player. In January 2010, her team received the award of the Chinese state broadcaster CCTV as the best Chinese team of 2009.

At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver , she won the bronze medal with her team. They won the game for 3rd place against the Swiss team around Skip Mirjam Ott with 12: 6. Four years later she was back at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, but could only achieve seventh place. In December 2017, she secured one of the last two starting places for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang for herself and her team at the Olympic qualification tournament in Pilsen . There she came after four wins and five defeats in the round robin to fifth place and thus missed the entry into the final round.
