Zhang Shan

Zhang Shan (; born March 23, 1968) is a Chinese sports shooter and Olympic champion.

Career Zhang Shan was born in the city of Nanchong in Sichuan province in Southwest China. She began shooting skeet at age 16. In 1989, she joined the Chinese national skeet team. However, 1992 was the last time women competed against men in this category, as they were barred from the 1996 Olympics—a decision made in April 1992, prior to the games where Zhang won her gold medal. For the 2000 Sydney games, the International Olympic Committee allowed women again, but only in segregated competition. Zhang participated in the 2000 Olympic women's skeet placing 8th.

She won a gold medal with the Chinese team in the women's skeet (team event) at the 2007 World Shotgun Championships in Nicosia. Her later achievements includes a silver medal in 2017 at the 13th Chinese National Games, at the age of 49, 25 years after her Olympic gold medal.
