Yang won the bronze medal on the uneven bars at the 2000 Summer Olympics; she also had a fifth-place finish in the all-around. She also qualified for the floor exercise final, where she was 5th, and the balance beam final, where she was 8th.[1] She was also a member of the bronze medal-winning Chinese team, but the medal was stripped in 2010 after one of the Chinese team members was found to be underage during the competition.[2] Afterward, she competed at the 2001 Goodwill Games, where she was last in the all-around after receiving a score of 0 on her vault.[3]
