Ying Qing (Chinese: 应清; born 10 February 1997) is a Chinese bobsledder. She represented China at the 2022 and 2026 Winter Olympics.[2]
Career
Prior to bobsled, Ying participated in track and field as a hurdler. She transitioned to bobsleigh in 2015, shortly after the announcement that Beijing would host the 2022 Winter Olympics.[3] Ying made her professional debut in 2016 in the IBSF's Europe Cup. In 2017 she made her first appearance at the Bobsleigh World Championships with brakewoman Ma Yuanyuan, making them the first Chinese competitors to compete in the event.[4] In 2020, Ying earned a silver medal in the Junior Under-23 World Championships in two-woman with brakewoman Du Jiani.[5]
In 2023, Ying became the first female Chinese bobsledder to earn a medal in the Bobsleigh World Cup, earning a bronze medal at Sigulda in the monobob event during the 2022–23 season.[6]
Ying was selected to represent China in both the 2022 and 2026 Winter Olympics in both monobob and two-woman.[2] In 2022, Ying finished 9th in monobob and 14th in two-woman with brakewoman Du Jiani. In 2026, she finished 12th in the monobob, but only 22nd in two-woman, this time with Wang Yu as brakewoman.
