The China national badminton team (Chinese: 中国国家羽毛球队; pinyin: Zhōngguó guójiā yǔmáoqiú duì) is a badminton team that represents the People's Republic of China in international badminton team competitions. In addition to the first national team, there is also the second national badminton team of China. Immediately afterward, there is the China National Badminton National Youth Team. All team procedures are managed by the China Badminton Association. The Chinese National Badminton Team is the most successful badminton team in history, having won 12 Thomas Cups, 16 Uber Cups, and 14 Sudirman Cups. China is also the only country to achieve a clean sweep of badminton gold medals at the Olympics, doing so in 2012.

History and introduction

[edit]

After the 2012 Olympics, the Chinese team adjusted the coaching team and merged the original first and second teams. The players are divided into four groups: "men's singles", "women's singles", "men's doubles" and "women's doubles". Chen Jin (women's singles group), Chen Qiqiu (men's doubles group)[2], and Liu Yong (women's doubles group) served as the head coaches.

In 2012, several Chinese double badminton players, including Yu Yang and her match partner Wang Xiaoli were disqualified from the Olympics for throwing a match.[3]
