Athletic career
Ouyang became involved in sport in 2002, after her father noticed a talent and took her to a training session.

Although she was not in the China team for her home Paralympic Games in Beijing, she did represent her country at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, winning a bronze medal in the long jump.[2]
