Olympic gold medalists Wong Ning, Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng were inducted into the World Badminton Federation (BWF) Hall of Fame. The three players from China will be officially honoured at an online ceremony and media event hosted by the BWF, which will be held online on Wednesday, June 16, 2021.

Zhang Ning, Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng were the leaders of China's absolute dominance in tour events from the 2000s to the early 2010s. During this time, they demonstrated excellent skills, talent, perseverance and sportsmanship.

The president of the World Badminton Federation, Paul Erik Hoyer, praised their brilliant achievements in their careers and defined them as important figures in the history of sport.

"Zhang Ning, Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng have been iconic figures in recent years," Says Hoyer.

"They showed amazingly high standards, which helped them win every major title in badminton. Most importantly, the standards they set will always be a challenge for the younger generation that wants to try to catch up with them. I congratulate them on their induction into the World Badminton Federation Hall of Fame. These three great players from China deserve it. ”
