Han Yueshuang
Hong Kong short track speed skater
Han Yueshuang (simplified Chinese: 韩月双; traditional Chinese: 韓月雙; pinyin: Hán Yuèshāng; Jyutping: hon4 jyut6 soeng1; born 6 November 1982) is a short track speed skater from Hong Kong.
She was the only athlete to represent Hong Kong at the 2006 and 2010 Winter Olympics, competing in the 500m, 1000m and 1500m events. She was a fill in at the 2010 Winter Olympics after her teammate Wang Xinxue failed to meet the residency requirement and Wang qualified for an Olympic berth at the World Cup event in Marquette.
Originally from Jilin, she moved to Hong Kong in 2003. She needed a special exemption from the International Olympic Committee to solve her own passport situation in 2006. She eventually gained her Hong Kong passport in October 2009 and trained mostly in the mainland for lack of skating facilities in Hong Kong.
She caught a cold at the 2010 Winter Olympics opening ceremony due to a sponsorship contract, having had to wear a light jacket instead of a warm jacket provided by the Hong Kong Olympic Committee.
Han has retired after the 2010 Asian Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Japan in March 2010. Han currently coaches at various venues in the mainland and in Hong Kong.

Why this record matters
The phrase “hong Kong short track speed skater” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 7, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q514688. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1982, 2006, 2010 and 2003.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
