Biography

Yang Qian (杨倩; born 10 July 2000) is a Chinese sport shooter. She represented China at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo in summer of 2021, where she won two gold medals.

Born in Ningbo, a port city in southeastern China's Zhejiang province, she started shooting training at the age of 10. She is currently a third-year undergraduate studying economics and management at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

On July 14, 2021, Yang was listed as part of the official Chinese sport shooting delegation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. On 24 July 2021, she won the gold medal in women's 10 metre air rifle, which is the first gold medal of this Olympiad. Three days later, she teamed with Yang Haoran to win the gold medal in mixed 10 metre air rifle team in the event's debut on the Olympic stage.

The overall strength of the rifle event of the Chinese shooting team is very strong. The competitive environment faced by Yang Qian is very fierce, and her own condition is not particularly good. Therefore, after Yang Qian missed the World Championships, she missed the Asian Games again in 2023.
