Zhang Liang (rower)

Zhang Liang (born 14 January 1987) is a Chinese rower who competed for Team China at the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Zhang gained international notoriety when he failed to show up for the men's single sculls at the 2008 Olympics and was therefore also disqualified from the doubles event in line with international rowing rules.

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he only competed in the single sculls, finishing 11th.

In the 2019 and 2021 World Rowing Championships, Zhang competed with Liu Zhiyu taking gold in the men's double sculls event.
