Who is Han Aiping?
Han Aiping is a former Chinese badminton player in the 1980s who ranks among the greats of the woman's game. Noted for her superb overhead strokes, she and her teammate, rival, and sometimes doubles partner Li Lingwei dominated international singles play for most of the decade, each winning the IBF World Championships twice, and led Chinese teams to victory in Uber Cup competitions.
She is one of the most successful players at the World Championships, with three gold medals, two of them in singles and another in women's doubles, plus a silver medal in both singles and doubles. At seventeen Han also won the short-lived World Badminton Federation's version of the World Championships in 1979, before China became a member of the International Badminton Federation.
Han retired in 1990 and was inducted into the Badminton Hall of Fame in 1998.
