Mia AUDINA TJIPTAWAN

Character Introduction

Mia Audina-Tjiptawan (born August 22, 1979), also known as Zhang Haili in Chinese, is a retired Chinese-born Dutch badminton player.

In 1994, Zhang Haili defeated Zhang Ning in the Uber Cup final, securing the Uber Cup championship for the Indonesian national team.

She competed in the women’s singles at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, where she won a silver medal for Indonesia.

Zhang Haili’s performance declined sharply due to factors such as early marriage and her mother’s serious illness, leading to her removal from the Indonesian national team after a poor performance at the Bangkok Asian Games.

Subsequently, she and her Dutch husband moved to the Netherlands. During this period, her world ranking fell drastically due to her absence from international competitions. Zhang Haili returned to the international stage in 2000, representing the Netherlands.

She won her first major title by defeating China’s top player Gong Ruina at the Japan Open, a five-star event. She then claimed the title at the European Championships by defeating Martin and Pi Hongyan, becoming the first to win the European Championships in her career.

At the 2004 Athens Olympics, representing the Netherlands, Zhang Haili won matches against Jamaican player Nigella Saunders and Indian player Aparna Popat in the preliminary rounds. She then defeated Tracey Hallam of Great Britain and Gong Ruina of China in the semifinals but lost to China’s Zhang Ning in the final, finishing as the runner-up.

In August 2006, Zhang Haili announced her retirement from international competitions.
