Biography

Li Ling (Chinese: 李玲; pinyin: Lǐ Líng; born 6 July 1989 in Puyang, Henan) is a female Chinese athlete, who specialises in the pole vault.
She competed at the 2006 World Junior Championships, but no-heighted in the final. She achieved indoor and outdoor personal bests in 2008, clearing 4.45 metres indoors in Beijing in February and repeating the feat outdoors two months later in Hangzhou.
She represented her country at the 2008 Summer Olympics but her mark of 4.15 m in the qualifying round was not enough to progress to the final. She fared better at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics, but her season's best mark of 4.40 m was ten centimetres off making the final competition.
She matched her personal best to take the gold medal at the 2009 Asian Indoor Games. The vault was one centimetre off Zhang Yingning's Asian record in the event.
On September 8, 2013 she achieved a new Asian record at the Chinese National Games in Shenyang, China with 4.65 m.
