Career

She was also the third for the team that won a bronze at the 2018 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships. Dong also competed in three legs of the 2018–19 Curling World Cup with her best finish at the Third Leg, where her team finished fourth. Dong played third for the Chinese team at the 2021 World Women's Curling Championship, skipped by Han Yu. The team finished in tenth at the tournament with a 6–7 record.[4] Dong would play second on the Chinese team, skipped by Han on home soil at the 2022 Winter Olympics, where the team would finish 4–5 in the round-robin, finishing 7th.
