Zhang Xiaohuan (simplified Chinese: 张晓欢; traditional Chinese: 張曉歡; pinyin: Zhāng Xiǎohuān; born August 19, 1980) is a Chinese former synchronized swimmer. Her career on the Chinese national team lasted from 1997 to 2009, during which she participated in six FINA World Aquatics Championships.[1] She also competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics, the 2004 Summer Olympics, and the 2008 Summer Olympics, winning a bronze medal in 2008.[2]
Zhang Xiaohuan retired right after the 2009 World Aquatics Championships, and immediately became one of the two head coaches of the Chinese national team.[3] She and fellow rookie coach Wang Na guided Team China to three golds at the 2010 Asian Games.[4] In 2011, she and Masayo Imura (who replaced Wang Na) took Team China to new heights at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships.[5] She left her coaching position in 2012 or 2013, probably due to her pregnancy.[6]
