Han Yu (, born October 6, 2000, in Beijing) is a Chinese curler. She currently plays third on Team Wang Rui.
Han represented China at the 2019 World Junior Curling Championships throwing fourth stones for Jiang Jiayi. The team went 8-1 through the round robin, which earned them the number one seed in the playoffs. In the playoffs, they lost the semi-final to Russia's Vlada Rumiantseva and the bronze medal game to Switzerland, settling for fourth place.
Han, even though she was still of junior age, skipped the Chinese national team to a gold medal at the 2019 Pacific-Asia Curling Championships following a 10âÂÂ3 victory over Japan's Seina Nakajima. The victory earned a spot for China at the 2020 World Women's Curling Championship, which was cancelled due to COVID-19. A year later, Han skipped China at the 2021 World Women's Curling Championship, finishing tenth with a 6âÂÂ7 record. Han would skip the Chinese team on home soil at the 2022 Winter Olympics, where the team would finish 4âÂÂ5 in the round-robin, finishing 7th.
Han would then return to international curling as third on the Chinese national team, skipped by Wang Rui at 2024 Pan Continental Curling Championships, where the team would win a bronze medal, qualifying them to return for the 2025 World Women's Curling Championship. In preparation for the World Championships, they would also represent China at the 2025 Asian Winter Games, where they won a silver medal, losing to South Korea's Gim Eun-ji 7âÂÂ2 in the final. At the 2025 Worlds, the team finished the round robin with a 7âÂÂ5 record, and would go on to win a bronze medal, this time beating Gim 9âÂÂ4 in the bronze medal game. This bronze medal performance also qualified the Chinese women's team for the 2026 Winter Olympics.
During the 2025âÂÂ26 season, Team Wang would participate in their first Grand Slam of Curling event at the 2025 Masters. At the event, Wang would finish with a 1âÂÂ3 record. The team would then go on to represent China at the 2025 Pan Continental Curling Championships, where they would have an impressive week, going undefeated in the tournament and beating Canada's Rachel Homan 7âÂÂ6 in the final.
Han teamed up with Wang Zhiyu to compete in mixed doubles during the 2024âÂÂ25 curling season. The pair would find immediate success, representing China as the home team at the 2025 Asian Winter Games where they finished 3rd, beating the Philippines 6âÂÂ5 in the bronze medal game. Han and Wang would also represent China at the 2025 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.
Han attended Beijing Sport University.
