This is a Chinese name; the family name is Shen.

Shen Qiang (simplified Chinese: 沉强; traditional Chinese: 沉強; pinyin: Chén Qiáng; born May 11, 1990 in Jixi, Heilongjiang, People's Republic of China) is a Canadian table tennis player of Chinese origin.[3] As of August 2010, Shen is ranked no. 366 in the world by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).[2] He is also right-handed, and uses the shakehand grip.[1]

Shen started his sporting career, when he became a member of the provincial table tennis team in Heilongjiang at the age of eleven. He set an early success by winning the 12-and-under division in the men's singles at the national table tennis championships, before he moved with his family to Ottawa, Canada in 2004. Despite his lack of English, Shen obtained a citizenship, studied at Glebe Collegiate Institute, and worked as a resident athlete for the National Table Tennis Centre, under his personal and head coach Marles Martins.[4] Shen made his international debut at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, where he earned a bronze medal, along with his fellow table tennis players Pradeeban Peter-Paul and Pierre-Luc Hinse, in the men's team event.[5][6]

Shen qualified for the inaugural men's team event at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by receiving a continental spot for the Americas from ITTF's Computer Team Ranking List.[7] Shen and his teammates Pradeeban Peter-Paul and Wilson Zhang placed fourth in the preliminary pool round, against Germany, Croatia, and Singapore, receiving a total of three points and three straight losses.[8][9][10]
