Character Introduction

Huang Sui, born in Hunan, China, is a Chinese-Australian badminton player. She was a former Chinese women’s doubles player who frequently partnered with Gao Ling to win various major championships and was one of the top women’s doubles players in the Chinese national badminton team. At the end of 2007, she announced her retirement from the national team. She later became an Australian citizen and made a comeback in 2012, representing Australia in the Australian Badminton Open.

In 1988, Huang Sui joined the Anhua Badminton Sports School, where her coach was Yang Zhiyong. Four years later, she entered the Hunan Provincial Sports School, and her coach was Tang Hui. In 1997, Huang was selected for the Chinese national second team, coached by Weng Jiande. Two years later, she joined the first team, where her coach was Tian Bingyi.

Huang Sui was known for her aggressive, powerful playstyle, excellent ball control, and keen awareness. In 1998, she became the runner-up in the women’s doubles events at the World Junior Championships, the Swedish Open, and the All England Open. A year later, she won the Sudirman Cup, a mixed doubles silver medal, and gold medals in the women’s doubles and women’s team events at the National Games, as well as being the runner-up in the women’s doubles at the Hong Kong Open.

In 2001, Huang successfully defended her Sudirman Cup title and won the women’s doubles titles at the All England Open, the World Championships, the Japan Open, and the Asian Championships. She also won a silver medal in the mixed doubles at the National Games, and took third place in women’s doubles at the Korean Open and the International Badminton Super Grand Prix. The following year, Huang won women’s doubles titles at the Korean, Chinese, Indonesian, and All England Opens, and was the runner-up in the women’s doubles at the Japan Open, the Asian Games, and the Asian Championships.

In 2003, Huang claimed titles in the women’s doubles at the China, Japan, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and All England Opens, as well as the World Championships. She was also the runner-up at the Singapore and Malaysia Opens. In 2004, Huang won titles at the Uber Cup, the Swiss Open, and the All England Open. She partnered with Gao Ling in the women’s doubles at the Athens Olympics, but they were defeated 1-2 in the final by the Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen pairing, earning a silver medal.

In 2005, Huang first won the mixed doubles gold medal at the National Games. She later partnered with Gao Ling to win the German Open and claimed the All England Open title again. However, she lost to Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen in the women’s doubles at the World Championships, Hong Kong Open, and China Open, taking the runner-up spot.

In 2006, Huang and Gao Ling won the women’s doubles gold medal at the Asian Games, in addition to the team gold medal.

In early 2007, Huang Sui unexpectedly requested to retire from the national team to care for her father, who had fallen gravely ill. Head coach Li Yongbo made several attempts to convince her to change her mind, even personally bringing players such as Lin Dan, Zhang Ning, Xie Xingfang, Cai Yun, Fu Haifeng, and Gao Ling to Zhuzhou to persuade her to stay. Huang was eventually convinced to return to competition and won Grand Prix titles in Thailand and Macau with Gao Ling. However, as her father’s condition worsened, Huang, the only daughter in her family, found it difficult to focus on competition and reapplied for retirement from the national team. She officially left the team on September 14.

After retiring from the national team, Huang Sui was appointed deputy director of the Hunan Provincial Badminton Center.

In April 2012, after a three-year absence, Huang Sui unexpectedly reappeared at the Australian Badminton Open, partnering with Tang Hetian to represent Australia in the women’s doubles event, causing a sensation in the Chinese sports world.
