Su Tingyu (Chinese: 苏亭毓; pinyin: Su Tingyu, born August 25, 2000) is a Chinese curler from Qinghai.[1] She is currently the alternate on the Chinese national women's curling team skipped by Wang Rui. With Wang, she won a silver medal at the 2025 Asian Winter Games and bronze medals at the 2024 Pan Continental Curling Championships and the 2025 World Women's Curling Championship.
Career
[edit]Su made her international debut at the 2022 World Mixed Doubles Qualification Event with partner Li Menghua, attempting to qualify China for the 2023 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.[2] Through the round robin, the pair posted an undefeated 6–0 record, advancing to the playoffs as the first seed. They then lost consecutive games to Austria and New Zealand, failing to qualify for the world championship.[3]
In September 2024, Su was selected to be on the Chinese national women's team skipped by Wang Rui.[4] The team also included Han Yu, Dong Ziqi and Jiang Jiayi. On tour, the team fared quite well, reaching the final of the 2024 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic and the Mercure Perth Masters and the semifinals at the 2024 Stu Sells Oakville Tankard.[5] At the 2024 Pan Continental Curling Championships, they lost their first three games before winning four straight matches to qualify for the playoffs. They then lost in an extra end to world number one ranked Canada's Rachel Homan in the semifinals but bounced back to beat Japan's Miyu Ueno to claim the bronze medal.[6] This earned the team a spot at the 2025 World Women's Curling Championship later in the season.
Before the World Championship, Team Wang competed in the 2025 Asian Winter Games in February 2025. There, they had another strong performance, finishing 7–1 in the round robin. After beating Japan in the semifinals, they lost in the final to South Korea's Gim Eun-ji, the team that also beat them in the round robin, settling for silver.[7] The following month, the team played in the World Championship. After mixed results through the first half of the tournament, the team won four of their last six games to advance to the playoff round as the fifth seeds. Facing Sweden's Anna Hasselborg in the quarterfinals, China scored three in the tenth end to win 8–7 after two angle raises by Wang to finish the game.[8] They then lost to Switzerland's Silvana Tirinzoni in the semifinal but rebounded in the bronze medal game by beating South Korea's Gim 9–4.[9] By winning the bronze medal, the team also secured enough points to directly qualify China for the 2026 Winter Olympics and avoid the last chance Olympic Qualification Event.[10]
