Zhang Wei (Chinese: 张魏, born 22 December 1989[4]) is a Chinese goalball player. She won a silver medal at the 2016 Summer Paralympics.
At age 6, she experienced loss of vision and was diagnosed with optic neuropathy. She began playing goalball in 2008, after participating in track and field for a few years.[1] She discontinued running because she could not find a permanent sighted guide.[2] She missed the 2012 Summer Paralympics due to a rotator cuff tear.[5]
