another salute and two thumbs for susi susi susanti was incredeble player... the best player ever born... won 6 titles wc betwen 1990-1996... very 'crazy' player.. she will become the player who won the most wc title and note the record 5 times champion in a row(1990-1994). i think the record will last ver long at least 50 years we must clone susi in order to break 'china wall'
It's NOT World Championship results, it's World Cup Badminton Championship. An invitation tournament which had been stop since 1999.
No wonder that looked kinda weird. I was looking back at the year 1997 and I didn't see Peter Rasmussen's and Sun Jun's name.

On the previous 13 editions of WC, only ONE player has won two MS title. Yang Yang won consecutive title in 1987 and 1989. 2. No country has won back to back MS title for the last 10 years. Indonesia did that in 1993 and 1995. 3. China is the most dominant country, winning four continous titles btw 1985 and 1991. They have won a total of 6 titles in 11 participations (they didn't take part in the first 2 editions). Indonesia takes 5 and Denmark 2. Interestingly, only the 3 aforesaid countries have won the MS titles. 4. Most unfortunate final loser goes to Sun Jun when he went down to Peter Rasmussen in 1987. Sun was in very comfortable lead and control but he injured himself. Not to take anything away from Peter Rasmussen, it was, nevertheless, one of the most exciting final.

China is the most dominant country in WS. Since taking part in 1983, they have only lost two - in 1993 and 1999, to the greatest non-chinese women shuttlers, Susi Susanti and Camilla Martin. 2. With a possible of 44 semifinalists in the last 11 editions, 33 are Chinese. And they are the only country who managed to occupy all 4 spots in the s-final (4 times in 1985, 1987, 1997, 2001). The only time they didn't make it to the final was in 1993 whn both their ladies lost to Susi Susanti and the sweet Bang Soo Hyun. 3. Han Aiping, Li Lingwei and Ye Zhaoying won 2 WS titles each.
im surprised to see razif/jailani sidek won 4 times in their career i knew they were good, but i always thought they were still behind li yongbo/tian bingyi in terms of international success. good work msia! hehe
The Sideks didn't win World Championships, only the World Grand Prix and All-England once. The closest they came in the World Championships was in 1987 when they lost to Bingyi/Yongbo 2-15 15-8 9-15, having beaten Park Joo Bong/Kim Moon Soo in semifinal. And you are right, Bingyi/Yongbo and Park/Kim had better success due to better attack. The Sideks, however, were the best in defence. Even now, I think current MD pairs are still behind these 3 pairs in overall technique and consistency.
You are right, the Sidek brothers (Misbun, Razif, Jalani, Rashid), despite their dominance in Malaysia, has never won any WC title.
