Zhang Jing, 48, was born in Changchun, and was selected to practice skating in a sports school because she ran fast when she was a child, and has since embarked on the path of professional athletes. Zhang Jing, who was selected for the national team at the age of 14, was accidentally seriously injured because she was brought down by her opponent and slammed into the protective wall during the game. The injury nearly ruined Zhang Jing's athletic career, and although she returned to the field after more than a year of arduous recovery with her love of short track speed skating, she failed to recover to her peak level. After retiring from the army, Zhang Jing transformed into a coach and was appointed head coach of the Hungarian short track speed skating team in 2012. Coaching overseas, Zhang Jing not only has to adapt to different languages, cultures, communication styles, and the pressure of achievements, but she has led the Hungarian short track team to grow into a world-class team in just 6 years. At the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the Hungarian team won the gold medal in the men's 5000m relay; at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Hungary's Liu Shaoang won the gold medal in the men's 500m; two consecutive Winter Olympics led the team to win the gold, Zhang Jing's name is increasingly compared with the Chinese meritorious coach Li Yan, and is considered to be the best female coach in the short track speed skating industry.
