from China for the participation in the 2012 Olympics, other already BWF profile (https://bwfbadminton.com/player/

there was another rising Chinese player Li Xuerui who was ranked below B)

Wang Shixian but with her stunning 6 finals in the 1st half of 2012 made
her ranking points more than Shixian and hence, the head coach Li Wang Shixian
Yongbo selected Li instead of Wang Shixian to contest the Olympics, and Simplified Chinese 王适娴
Shixian's Olympic dream was broken.[22] However some sources say she
Traditional Chinese 王適嫻
had relatively poor performance against other top players of different
countries when compared to her teammates, significantly against players Transcriptions
like Saina Nehwal & Juliane Schenk. Li Xuerui on the other hand had Standard Mandarin
beaten them multiple times so that's why Shixian was omitted from the Hanyu Pinyin Wáng Shìxián
Olympic squad and Li was chosen.[23] In year end finals, she reached the IPA [wǎŋ.ʂî ɕjɛ̌ n]
semifinal after having 2 group wins. She ousted Ratchanok Intanon there
and advanced to final round. She retired when trailing 9–21, 4–15 against
Li Xuerui and finished as runner-up.[24]

2013
After a moment of distress Wang Shixian started the year very well, she was runner-up to the Victor Korea Open where she
was ousted by Sung Ji-hyun.[25] She succeeded in taking the Swiss Open title by beating Ratchanok Intanon.[26] Wang
Shixian competed at the BWF world championship that took place in Guangzhou China as the 7th seed. Nonetheless, she
lost against P. V. Sindhu again (18–21; 17–21) who also downed Wang's compatriot & defending champion Wang Yihan
earlier in the 2nd round.[27] The Chinese coaches later revealed that they took time to analyze Sindhu's game. In October,
Wang Shixian played at the Yonex French Open Superseries as the 7 seed, she managed to climb her way to the final in
getting rid of all her opponents in 2 straight games. Wang showed a great performance and overcame a tough challenge by
Thailand's Porntip Buranaprasertsuk to win (21–18; 21–18) and grabbed her 1st Superseries title since the Victor Korea
Open in 2012.[28] She then lost in the finals of 2013 China Open Super Series Premier[29] & 2013 Hong Kong Super
Series[30] to her team-mates Li Xuerui & Wang Yihan respectively. She put up a good show at the 2013 BWF Super Series
Finals where she won all her group stage matches against Tai Tzu-ying, Sung Ji-
hyun and Porntip Buranaprasertsuk in 2 games. She was favourite to win the
semifinal after her repeat clash with Tai again. But this time, she suffered defeat,
with very narrow margins in 3 tense games.[31]

2014
She made her way to the final of the 2014 Malaysia Super Series Premier but lost
against her compatriot Li Xuerui.[32] She then afterwards won her 2nd All England
title, in which she defeated the trio of Olympic medallists (Nehwal in quarter-final,
Yihan in semifinal & Li Xuerui in the final) which made her victory even more
memorable.[33] Meanwhile, Chen Long made his way to the final and the English
media seized the occasion to talk about the All England as the fulfillment of the love
affair of Chen and Shixian. However, both of them confessed in an interview that
they didn't know what went on in England and it was embarrassing to mix their
professional relationship and private life in order to make the buzz. In the 2014 India
Super Series, even though Wang faced tough opponents as she was reckoned as the Wang at the 2013 French Super
player who's been on court the longest time that to say almost six hours, she won the Series.
title, beating Li Xuerui yet again 22–20, 21–19. [34] In an Interview Shixian said "It's
all about beating the others so as long as China wins we're happy" which shows the
fair play and the support between players. She also settled for the silver medal in 2014 Badminton Asia Championships
where she lost to Sung Ji-hyun who was playing in front of her home crowd.[35] Wang was second-seeded in the 2014 BWF
World Championships and was one of the favourites to win the tournament. But she was again defeated in a thrilling
quarter-final match against P. V. Sindhu, a player to whom Wang lost to in the previous year.[36] In September Wang played
in the team event of the Asian games. She and her team won the gold medal beating the Korean team 3–0. However, she
didn't get selected in the individual event.[37] In October, Wang Shixian retained her French title, her third superseries title
of the year, after Li Xuerui retired in the 2nd game, 21–15, 8–5.[38] Wang Shixian qualified in first place for the year end
Super Series Finals staged for the first time in Dubai. She lost all three of her round-robin matches in straight sets and
exited the tournament.

2015–2016
2015 proved disappointing year for Wang, as she was stopped in the semifinals of many tournaments. In her quarter-final at
the 2015 Malaysia Super Series Premier, she played the longest ever Women's singles badminton match against Nozomi
Okuhara, which lasted for 1 hours & 51 minutes. Wang won that encounter and Okuhara was left cramping in that historic
match.[39] She did have final appearances at the 2015 Australian Super Series[40] and 2015 French Super Series,[41] both of
them being lost to Carolina Marín. She was also a quarterfinalist at the 2015 BWF World Championships, where she lost to
Marín again.[42] In the 2014 BWF Super Series Finals, she won only one match (against Sung Ji-hyun) & lost other 2 group
matches which denied her advancement in the semifinals.

In 2016, she paddled off the year with the runner-up finish at the 2016 German Open Grand Prix Gold where she lost to Li
Xuerui.[43] In her overall 3rd final at the All England Open, Wang was beaten by Nozomi Okuhara in a controversial 3-
gamer, in which she lost a close 11–21, 21–16, 19–21 match.[44] In the 2016 Chinese Taipei Open Grand Prix Gold, she
made her way to the final before losing to local star Tai Tzu-ying in the final.[45] Just like the last Olympics, Shixian again
failed to participate in the 2016 Olympics, as Chinese team selected higher ranked Wang Yihan as a 2nd qualifier from
China, another already confirmed player was the defending Olympic champion Li Xuerui. She subsequently decided to take
retirement from the professional badminton.[46][47]

Personal life
Wang graduated from the Nanjing University of Finance and Economics with a bachelor's degree. After retirement she
finished a master's degree in sports education at the Beijing Sports University where she has taught since 2020.[48]
She married former teammate Chen Long in 2017, after over a decade together.[49]
She gave birth to a son Chen Shan Yang, nickname "Coffee", in June 2019.[50]

As a child she attended a sports school in Jiangsu province. The boy who sat next to
her during classes was table tennis player Xu Xin.[51][52]
