Shang Chunsong (Chinese: 商春松; pinyin: Shāng Chūnsōng; born March 18, 1996) is a senior elite Chinese artistic gymnast. She represented China at the 2013, 2014, and 2015 World Championships. She is a two-time world silver medalist with the Chinese team. She is the 2015 and 2016 Chinese national all-around champion.
Shang was born on March 18, 1996. She grew up in a very poor family, and she was malnourished as a child. Both of Shang's parents are construction workers in Changsha. She has a brother who has a visual impairment, and her biggest hope is to earn enough money to cure her brother's eyesight. She bought a house for her brother in Changsha after winning 163,425 USD from the 2013 Chinese National Games. Her brother, Shang Lei, said, “My sister said it’s for me when I get married. She paid down most of the payment, and I’m working hard as well." When told of his sister's winnings, Shang Lei said, “It doesn't matter how much the prize money is, I just want my sister to smile more.”
Shang's senior debut came in 2012. She competed with the Chinese team at the Pacific Rim Championships, winning silver with the team. She also placed fourth on bars and beam, and fifth in the all-around. She was later named to the Chinese team for the Asian Championships. She won gold on balance beam and floor exercise, gold with the Chinese team, and bronze in the all-around.
Shang made her 2013 debut at the Tokyo World Cup, where she placed fourth in the all-around, first on balance beam, and second on floor exercise.
