Although she is born in the 1990s, Du Jiani has achieved outstanding results on the field. She won the runner-up in the women’s heptathlon at the 2016 National Athletics Grand Prix (Shaoxing Station) and the bronze medal in the women’s heptathlon at the 2017 National Games.

In January 2020, Du Jiani and her teammates won the championship in the women’s double snowmobile competition of the 14th National Winter Games, achieving a breakthrough in Jiaxing’s zero gold medal in the history of the National Winter Games.
