Yang Yang (b. 1977)

Yang Yang ( _zh. 楊陽; born 14 September 1977 in Changchun, China) is a Chinese Olympic speed skater.

Born in Changchun, China, 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. By coincidence, she had a contemporary on the Chinese short track team also named Yang Yang. 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). "A" and "S" also refer to their respective months of birth: August and September respectively.
