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.
