Career
[edit]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 metres — T53 event,[2] a silver medal in the women's 400 metres — T53 event and a bronze medal in the women's 200 metres — T53 event.
At the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, United Kingdom she won a silver medal in the women's 100 metres T53 event, a bronze medal in the women's 200 metres T53 event, a gold medal in the women's 4000 metres T53 event and a gold medal in the 800 metres T53 event.
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]
