In terms of athlete status, Yang Yang is dazzling and successful. In her career, she has won 59 world championships alone, which is the most Chinese athlete in the world, and her record is difficult to break.
In 2002, Yang Yang also chose to temporarily leave the ice rink and came to Tsinghua University to study economic management. Although she has achieved many excellent results, she is not arrogant, and she can clearly understand her weaknesses, so she chose to study at Tsinghua University.

In 2003, Yang Yang also went to the University of Utah in the United States to study, but in order to prepare for the 06 Winter Olympics, she chose to put aside her studies and continue training, but Yang Yang did not give up her studies after that.
After retiring in 2006, she continued to come to Tsinghua University to do her unfinished homework, and in the summer of 2007, she finally completed her studies at Tsinghua University and obtained her graduation certificate.
But as a public figure, everyone is also very concerned about her private life.
married a financial tycoon who once dated Zhang Yining's husband
Yang Yang is more concerned about personal privacy, and every time the media asks about this matter, she also understates it and brushes it off, and does not respond too much, which is inevitably a little more mysterious in the eyes of the outside world.
With his outstanding appearance, Yang Yang has not many suitors, but from first love to marriage, Yang Yang has only talked about it three times. When the first love was still in his hometown in the Northeast, the other party and Yang Yang were teammates in Heilongjiang.
The time between the two was not short, but after all, they were defeated by the distance, and as time passed, her boyfriend became a police officer, and Yang Yang was also transferred to the national team with outstanding results.

Both of them were busy with their own affairs, there were few opportunities to meet, and there was nothing left of the common language, so they finally chose to break up.
In 2002, there were rumors that Yang Yang was in a relationship with an American, but Yang Yang never responded to this matter. Yang Yang also stayed in the United States for a while, but during the Turin Olympics, she still resolutely returned to China.
In everyone's opinion, Yang Yang is a person who puts national affairs first, and nothing is as important as the honor of the country. Later, seeing Yang Yang single, some people wanted to match Yang Yang and Xu Wei, but in the end, the two still didn't get together.
In 2007, 32-year-old Yang Yang finally got married, and the media only learned about the news in 2010. And Xu Wei also held a wedding with Zhang Yining in Beijing in 2009.
Yang Yang finally chose to marry a Chinese-American, 5 years older than her, named Zhang Zhen. He was born in Hong Kong and graduated from Stanford with a dual degree master's degree. And after working, the company under management is a global investment company with more than $10 billion in assets!
Some people try to know how much Zhang Zhen's net worth is? But it has always been a mystery, Zhang Zhen is operating an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, which is not something that ordinary people can imagine.
