In the 2014 Winter Olympics, she had been regarded as the favorite in 500 meters before the game since she was 2nd on that distance in the 2013–2014 season while the strongest Chinese skater Wang Meng was injured and couldn't participate. However, she fell in the second lap in the semifinals and ranked 5th at last. She won a silver medal eight days later in 1000 meters.

In the 2022 Winter Olympics, Fan won a gold medal in the 2000 m mixed relay but failed to advance in the 500m quarter-final. Controversy emerged after footage of her appearing to flick a lane marker in her opponent's path, causing her opponent to crash; it was unclear whether her action was deliberate.[3][4][5][6][7]
