Who is Wang Jiali?
Wang Jiali is a Chinese long-distance runner who specialises in marathon running. She has won marathons in Zhengzhou and Beijing, as well as having won a bronze medal from the Asian Athletics Championships.
Her first major marathon appearance came at the 2007 Beijing International Marathon, but she did not managed to make the top ten. She set a personal best of 2:26:34 to win the Zhengzhou-Kaifeng International Marathon in March 2008, a mark which ranked her as the fifth fastest Chinese woman that year. Her next marathon outing came in April at the Good Luck Beijing test event for the upcoming 2008 Olympic marathon, and although she was among the leaders for much of the race, she dropped out and failed to finish. Wang returned to the Beijing Marathon in October and took seventh place in a race dominated by her compatriot Bai Xue.
Wang had a podium finish at the 2009 Xiamen International Marathon, coming third as part of a Chinese sweep of the medals along with Chen Rong and Zhang Yingying. At the Dalian International Marathon she took second place behind Zhu Yingying in the women's race.
