The highlight of her career came at the 1991 World Championships in Athletics, where she won the 10,000 m bronze medal, finishing after Liz McColgan and Zhong. That December she won the Sanyo Half Marathon in Okayama, running a course record time of 1:10:14. She had her best Olympic performance the following year when she came sixth in the 10,000 m final at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Wang also set a marathon best of 2:28:56 at the Osaka International Ladies Marathon that year, where she finished in fifth place. Her final major appearances came in 1993: she was the runner-up at the Beijing Marathon behind Li Yemei, and won another 10,000 m silver behind Zhong, this time at the inaugural East Asian Games.
