General Interest

OLYMPIC HEARTBREAK
Despite her world championship success, she only has one Olympic medal to her name - a silver in the 1000m in 2014. That year in Sochi, she had been the favourite to win gold in the 500m, but fell in the second lap in the semi-finals and ranked fifth overall. In 2018, Fan was again the 500m favourite but was disqualified in the semi-finals. Then, in the relay final, Fan was judged to have impeded Korea’s Choi Min-jeong, leading to disqualification for China.

Milestones

Won gold in the mixed team relay, bronze in the 3000m relay, and finished 11th in the 500m at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.

Won 13 World Championship medals, including five gold in both the 500m and relay.
