Olympic tennis champ Zheng donates US$150,000 to Nepal-Tibet disaster
The 23-year-old is one of China's biggest sports stars and gave a similar amount of money after an earthquake in Tibet in 2025.
Olympic tennis champion Zheng Qinwen has donated US$150,000 to relief efforts following deadly flash floods and landslides that struck the China-Nepal border, according to a charity. The 23-year-old, one of China's biggest sports stars, made the generous contribution after an earthquake in Tibet in 2025. She will closely monitor the progress of relief efforts and hopes for a quick recovery and reconstruction of homes for those affected.
Nearly 4,500 people are missing, with over 900 confirmed dead after glacial floods, reminiscent of a tsunami, descended from the China-Tibet-Nepal border last week. Zheng, who claimed Olympic women's singles gold at Paris 2024, is currently competing at the US Open.
