Reporting from a studio near Moscow's famous Red Square, the 26-year-old Yang is an experienced anchor who has worked the past five years as a sportscaster.
"I love the program, and the anchor is even better!" another netizen ZhouleerAler noted.
Yang began working for sports channel CCTV 5 after graduating from the Communication University of China. Prior to heading to Moscow for the World Cup, she covered the 2012 London Olympic Games and anchored Chinese soccer show Who is the King.
Yang doesn't just cover soccer, she is also a fan of the sport.
"I love Cristiano Ronaldo the best," Yang told Chinese short video platform Pear Video in an interview on Saturday. "I think he has strong physical power," Yang laughed.
When asked about her recent Internet fame, Yang stressed that she considers herself just an ordinary employee of the TV station. "We have got plenty of work to do here at the station," Yang said. "We work from 7 am to 9 pm, 14 hours in total, and only get five hours sleep each day. But I think I can handle it if the sleep is good," she added.This article originally appeared on the Global Times website
