Wu Yanan (simplified Chinese: 吴 亚男; traditional Chinese: 吳 亞男; pinyin: Wú Yànán; born December 8, 1985, in Chuzhou, Anhui) is a Chinese sprint canoeist.[1][2] She won a gold medal, as a member of the Chinese women's kayak four team, at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, with a time of 1:34.440.[3][4]
Wu represented China at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where she competed in the women's K-2 500 metres. Wu and her partner Zhou Yu narrowly missed out on an Olympic medal in the A-final by almost fourteen hundredths of a second (0.14), finishing behind the Polish bronze-medal winning pair of Karolina Naja and Beata Mikołajczyk, with a time of 1:44.136.[5]
