"I was in charge of the first half of the relay and Zhou Yang was in charge of second half. Everyone stayed calm throughout the race and I'm so proud of them," she added.
Wang and teammates Zhou Yang, Sun Linlin and Zhang Hui clocked in four minutes and 6.610 seconds for the gold medal, the fourth title China has won at the Vancouver Games.
The new mark broke the Chinese team's own world record of 4:07.179 set in 2008, and awarded China its first ever relay crown since short track speed skating became an Olympic event in 1992.
