Career

Wang started practicing wushu at the age of six under Lu Xiaolin. His first major international appearance was at the 2006 Pan American Wushu Championships in Toronto, Canada, where he won bronze medals in changquan, daoshu, and gunshu. He then competed at the 2007 World Wushu Championships in Beijing, China, where he placed sixth in jianshu and fifth in qiangshu. This qualified him for the 2008 Beijing Wushu Tournament where he was the youngest athlete of the competition and placed fifth in the men's jianshu and qiangshu combined event. He then appeared at the 2008 World Junior Wushu Championships in Bali, Indonesia, and won the silver medal in group A qiangshu. A year later, Wang competed at the 2009 World Wushu Championships in Toronto, Canada, and won a silver medal in qiangshu. Two years later, he was a triple medalist at the 2011 World Wushu Championships in Ankara, Turkey. His last competition was at the 2013 World Games in Cali, Colombia, where he won the gold medal in men's changquan. Wang is the second American taolu athlete after Alfred Hsing (in 2009 World Wushu Championship) to win a gold medal at a major international competition.
