Wang Shanshan
(Soccer)
Wang helped China win the 2022 Asian Cup in India after a 16-year wait. The 33-year-old, who can play both as a forward and a defender, delivered clutch performances in the semifinal against Japan and the final against South Korea, helping her earn the 2022 Chinese Women's Footballer of the Year award. Wang has fond memories of competing at the Asian Games, amazingly netting nine goals off the bench against Tajikistan in 2018.Team China will hope she can repeat those heroics in Hangzhou as the Steel Roses bid to win a first Asian Games title since 1998.
