Xiangyi An

An Xiangyi (; born 24 December 2006) is a Chinese figure skater. She is a two-time Asian trophy champion (2023 and 2024) and a two-time (2020 and 2022) national champion.

Personal life An was born on 24 December 2006, in Beijing, China to parents, An Longhe and Zhang Aijun. An is often nicknamed "Nini" by friends and skating fans. Due to time spent alternating between practicing and resting, An was homeschooled. An eventually became a student at Beijing 101 Middle School. As hobbies, she enjoys cooking and painting, and is her own nutritionist. She also has three pet cats.

An has named American women's singles skater, Amber Glenn, as an inspiration to her due to Glenn remaining competitive with the top skaters in the world while in her mid- to late- twenties.

Career Early years

An began figure skating in 2009 at the age of three. Since starting, she has been coached by her father, An Longhe, a former competitive figure skater. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all Chinese national competitions were canceled during the 2020–21 season, thus An could not partake in major competitions. During the 2021–22 season, several coronavirus outbreaks and COVID-19 protocols in China caused the 2021 National Figure Skating Grand Prix and China Figure Skating Club League Finals to be held virtually. An would go on to win the gold medal at the event.

2022–2023 season: Junior international debut An made her Junior Grand Prix debut at the 2022 Solidarity Cup, after scoring first in national qualification events. She finished fifth at the event.

After contracting COVID-19 and having had a recurrence of injuries, An withdrew from the 2022 Chinese Figure Skating Junior Championships and the 2022 Chinese Figure Skating Club League Finals. However, she later competed in the 2023 Chinese Championships, ranking first in the short program by a small 1.73 mark lead after falling on her triple toe-triple toe combination, and winning the free skate by 15.83 marks, ahead of Li Ruotang. In the free skate, she stepped out of one jump and had quarter underrotation calls on three others, ranking eighth in that segment but finishing sixth overall. She became the first Chinese woman to place in the top ten since Li Zijun in 2012.

2023–2024 season: Senior international debut An began the season by winning gold at the 2023 Asian Open Trophy and went on to finish fifth at the 2023 Shanghai Trophy. She did, however, compete at the 2024 National Winter Games, where she won gold in the team event and silver in the individual event. She returned to competition for the 2026 Chinese Championships in December, where she finished in tenth place.
