Wang Lei (born July 11, 1988 in Harbin) is a Chinese pair skater. He competes with Zhang Yue. Together, they are two-time bronze medalists on the Junior Grand Prix.

Career

The 2007-2008 season was Zhang & Wang's first season skating together. They won two bronze medals on the 2007-2008 Junior Grand Prix circuit and qualified for the 2007 Junior Grand Prix Final. They made their senior Grand Prix debut at the 2007 Cup of China.

Although they placed eighth on the day, they were later moved up a spot to a seventh place finish at the 2007-2008 Junior Grand Prix Final following the retroactive disqualification of first-place-finishers Vera Bazarova & Yuri Larionov due to a positive doping sample from Larionov.

They finished their season at the 2008 World Junior Figure Skating Championships where they helped China earn three pairs spots to the 2009 World Junior Figure Skating Championships.

They have been assigned to the 2008 Skate America Grand Prix competition for the 2008-2009 season.

Before the 2007-2008 season, Wang competed as a single skater and competed internationally on the junior level. His highest international placement was two 7th place finishes at Junior Grand Prix events.
