In addition to figure skating, Zhang also enjoys playing badminton and swimming.[1]

Singles skating career[edit]

Zhang began figure skating in 2009.[1]

2018–19 season[edit]

Debuting at the 2019 Chinese Championships, Zhang placed seventeenth.[2]

2019–20 season[edit]

Zhang did not compete during this season.

2020–21 season[edit]

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a large number of modifications were made to the Grand Prix structure. Thus at the 2020 Cup of China, only skaters training China were invited to compete at the event.[3] As a result, Zhang was assigned to compete there, where she finished fourth.

Pairs skating career[edit]

2022–23 season[edit]

For the 2022-23 figure skating season, Zhang switched to pairs skating, teaming up with Yang Yongchao. The pair debuted internationally at the 2022 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, where they placed seventh.[4]

At the 2022 Chinese Championships, the pair won the gold medal. With this result, the pair were selected to compete at the 2023 Four Continents Championships and the 2023 World Championships. At the 2023 Four Continents Championships in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the pair finished eighth.[4]

Two weeks prior to the 2023 World Championships in Saitama, Japan, Zhang suffered a bad fall in practice and had to get twelve stitches in her chin. At the World Championships, the pair managed to qualify for the free program segment of the competition by placing twentieth in the short program. In the free skate, the pair placed seventeenth and moved up to seventeenth-place overall.[5][4]

2023-24 season[edit]

Zhang/Yang began the season at the Shanghai Trophy, where they won the bronze medal.[4] They were invited to make their ISU Grand Prix debut at the 2023 Cup of China, finishing in fifth place.[6]
