Zhou Hongzhuan (Chinese: 周洪转; pinyin: Zhōu Hóngzhuǎn; born December 12, 1988) is a Chinese Paralympic athlete competing mainly in category T53 sprint and mid-distance events.

Career

Zhou was born in Huangye in 1988 and she caught polio when she was three years old. She started to compete in wheelchair racing in 2004.[1]

She competed in the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, China. There she won a gold medal in the women's 800 m T53,[2] a silver medal in the women's 400 m T53 and a bronze medal in the women's 200 m T53.

At the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, United Kingdom she won a silver medal in the women's 100 m T53, a bronze medal in the women's 200 m T53, a gold medal in the women's 400 m T53 and a gold medal in the 800 m T53.

In the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio she gained three more gold medals and a silver in T53 events. 2020 was meant to be her last Paralympics so she had to be patient when the Tokyo games were postponed by a year.[1]
