Wang Yihan

Wang Yihan (; born 11 March 2010) is a Chinese figure skater. She is the 2024 Chinese national champion, the 2024 JGP Thailand champion, 2026 JGP Latvia bronze medalist, and the 2024 JGP China bronze medalist. She is the first Chinese woman to win a gold medal on the Junior Grand Prix.

Career Early career In 2015, following the successful bid for Wang's home city of Beijing to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, figure skating in China saw a sudden surge in popularity. This encouraged a then five-year-old Wang to try the sport for herself. During her first year of figure skating, she would constantly travel between the Shijingshan, Haidian, and Chaoyang districts since each public rink in Beijing often became too crowded for her to get sufficient practice time in one place. It was not until 2016 when Wang was able to join the Beijing Xinghong Ao Skating Club. There, Gao Weijun became her coach. She then finished off her season by taking gold on the junior level of the 2024 National Winter Games. Following the event, she said, "I feel really happy as I was able to land my jumps. This is my first time in the JGP final and that made me feel a bit nervous but I enjoyed skating here a lot."

Selected to compete at the 2025 World Junior Championships in late February, Wang placed eighth in the short program and sixteenth in the free skate, finishing twelfth overall.

2026–27 season In early August, it was announced that former two-time World medalist, Satoko Miyahara, had joined Wang's coaching team.

Yihan opened her season at the Junior Grand Prix in Latvia, earning new ISU personal best scores in both program segments, as well as overall. She won the bronze medal behind Mei Okada and Hana Bath.
