Yang Yang (simplified Chinese: 杨阳; traditional Chinese: 楊陽; pinyin: Yáng Yáng; born 14 September 1977 in Changchun, Jilin, China) is a Chinese Olympic speed skater.
Yang Yang competed as a short track speed skater for the Chinese national team at the 1994 Winter Olympics, the 1998 Winter Olympics, and the 2002 Winter Olympics.[1] By coincidence, she had a contemporary on the Chinese short track team also named Yang Yang.[2] They were originally referred to as Yang Yang (L) and Yang Yang (S), for "Large" and "Small"; Yang Yang (L) took offense at this and changed her designation to Yang Yang (A).[3] "A" and "S" also refer to their respective months of birth: August and September respectively.[4]
