Wang Meng

Wang Meng is, for my money, one of the most fearless competitors winter sport has produced. Four Olympic golds, plus a silver and a bronze, make her China's most decorated Winter Olympian, and the way she dominated short track, sweeping the podium across all three distances at the 2006 Games, speaks to a rare killer instinct. Coming out of Qitaihe, a city that breeds skating talent, she turned explosive speed and ruthless cornering into an art form. What I admire most is her total absence of hesitation when it mattered; she raced to win, period. Watching that kind of unapologetic competitive fire never gets old for me.

Wang Meng (Chinese: 王濛; pinyin: Wáng Méng; born April 10, 1985) is a Chinese short track speed skater. She is a four-time Olympic Champion and 2008 and 2009 Overall World Champion. She is the most decorated Chinese Winter Olympic athlete ever with four Olympic gold medals, a silver and a bronze. Wang won gold in the 500 m event, silver in the 1000 m and bronze in the 1500 m event at the 2006 Winter Olympics.
