'''Yang Yang''' (Chinese:'''杨扬''') is a former short track speed skater. She got China's first-ever Winter Olympic Gold medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics. <br />
<br />
Born on [[August 24]], [[1976]] in Jiamusi, [[Heilongjiang Province]], Yang Yang started skating at 8-year-old. She is arguably one of the best female speed skaters of all time. She has dominated short track speed skating for many years and has won six world championships in a row (1997-2002). <br />
<br />
Most notably, her victory in the women's 500 m short track at the 2002 Winter Olympics made her China's first-ever Winter Olympic gold medalist. She added a second gold in the women's 1000 m short track, walking away from Salt Lake City with two gold medals and one silver. <br />
