Who is Fanyu Kong? Wiki, Skier, Net Worth, Bronze Medal & Facts To Know

Fanyu Kong represented the People’s Republic of China in the 2018 Olympic Winter Games. Kong was born 06 June 1993, and her height is 160 cm. Kong won a bronze medal in the freestyle skiing in 2018 Olympic Winter Games. Kong cannot speak English; she only speaks Mandarin. Kong has been training with her club, Heilongjiang Province Ice Training Centre, in China under her coach Han Xiaopeng.

Nowadays, when almost everybody is on Instagram, Kong is an exception. Fanyu Kong is not on Instagram. Not just that, there are no photos of her on social media. It's strange because even when some skiers are not on social media, their photos do appear here and there, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Kong.

The net worth of Kong is still under review. She is an athlete, so her net worth will comprise of her salary from her club and prize money. Winning a bronze medal at the Olympics will surely enhance her net worth too.

Everybody must be thinking that winning a medal in the Olympics must be a memorable moment for Kong, but she begs to differ. The most memorable moment of Kong is when she won the aerials competition in Moscow at the 2012 World Cup Event. Olympic medals always help in reaching great heights, and when they come at an early age, then they are definitely a great boost for any athlete's career.

Kong was inclined towards gymnastics from the very beginning and started training for that. But fate had something else to offer. In 2002, Kong switched to freestyle skiing, and today she has won a bronze medal in freestyle skiing for her country. Fanyu Kong is a great skier, but she is prone to injuries as well. Injuries are quite common for athletes while training. Sometimes the skier goes overboard into training and hurts herself. In 2008, during the Nation Winter Games, the Chinese skier hurt herself badly in her left knee while training.

It was a pretty bad injury, so she had to stay away from the team event. Luckily, she recovered in time for the individual competition. Again in January 2017, Kong injured her knee and had to stay away from training until August 2017. When Kong is not busy practicing freestyle skiing, then she likes to listen to music. It is a great way to unwind after practicing hard as a skier.

Fanyu Kong is a consistent performer, and if she keeps on practicing hard, then she will earn many more medals in the international arena for her and her country in the future.
