Huang Hua (Chinese: 黄华; born November 16, 1969) is a Chinese female badminton player who won major international titles in the early 1990s.
Career
[edit]Huang and her contemporary Tang Jiuhong were the leading Chinese singles players between the era of Han Aiping and Li Lingwei (most of the 1980s) and the era of Ye Zhaoying (mid to late 1990s). She played for Chinese Uber Cup (women's international) teams that won world team championships in 1990 and 1992. Her singles titles included the Swedish (1990), Thailand (1990), Malaysia (1990, 1992), Korea (1991), Singapore (1991), Japan (1990, 1991), and China (1991) Opens. She was a runner-up in the 1989 World Championships[1] and in the prestigious All-England Championships in 1990.[2] Huang won the 1991 Badminton World Cup[3] held in Macau and was a bronze medalist in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, losing in the semi-finals to Susi Susanti of Indonesia, the eventual winner.
Playing style
[edit]Susi Susanti, one of Huang's rivals, described her as a "complete player" who was "slightly different" from other Chinese players. "Usually Chinese players are sharp and fast. Huang Hua's playing style is more stylish and elegant," said Susanti in an interview.[4]
