The Chinese youth badminton team recently began a two-month training camp at the Hainan Lingshui Training Base, and the famous coach Tian Bingyi served as the head of the youth team coaching team.
The 57-year-old Tian Bingyi has long served as the deputy head coach of the Chinese badminton team, and during the women's doubles training, he has trained a number of world champions such as Ge Fei/Gu Jun, Du Jing/Yu Yang. Until the 2016 Rio Olympics, when the Japanese women's doubles peaked, the Chinese women's doubles led by Tian Bingyi won almost all the world championships in the past 20 years.
Tian Bingyi's athletic career has also been outstanding. He partnered with former national coach Li Yongbo to win the men's doubles title at the 1987 and 1989 World Championships, and he was also the main player of the Chinese team to win the Thomas Cup in 1986, 1988 and 1990. He retired in 1992 after winning the bronze medal at the Barcelona Olympics and has since been coaching the national team and deputy head coach in 1997.

Different from the high-profile and publicity of head coach Li Yongbo at that time, Tian Bingyi has always been introverted and gentle, although inconspicuous, but he is recognized as a "gold medal famous coach" in the world badminton world.
During Li Yongbo Tian Bingyi's management of the Chinese badminton team, the Chinese team has repeatedly created a miracle of winning five gold medals at the World Championships and the Olympic Games, so the Fact that the Chinese team at the Rio Olympics only won two gold medals is considered to be a big decline in performance, which directly led to Li Yongbo stepping down as head coach in 2017, and Tian Bingyi also left the post of deputy head coach.
After Zhang Jun served as the chairman of the Chinese Badminton Association and the head coach of the Chinese badminton team doubles, the Chinese badminton team entered a new era of zhang jun and Xia Xuanze in charge of training. The Chinese team once used all young coaches, but after the Chinese team's performance at last year's World Championships continued to be poor, Zhang Jun made adjustments to the coaching staff, in addition to the unprecedented hiring of foreign coaches Jiang Jingzhen and Liu Yongcheng, but also recalled the famous coach Li Mao. At that time, netizens broke the news that Tian Bingyi would also return to China Yu, but from the current situation, Tian Bingyi was only responsible for the training of the youth team and would not return to the national first team for the time being.
