    SUSI SUSANTI

    Lucia Francisca Susi Susanti (Chinese:


    王蓮香, born in Tasikmalaya, West Java on 11
    February 1971) is a retired Indonesian badminton
    player. Relatively small of stature, she combined
    quick and graceful movement with elegant
    shotmaking technique, and rates among the most
    successful players in the history of the women's
    game. Sometimes her name is also spelled Susy
    Susanti.
    She won the women's singles gold medal at
    the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain and
    the bronze medal at the 1996 Olympic Games in
    Atlanta, United States. She retired from the world
    badminton circuit not long after her marriage to Alan Budikusuma (who had also won a
    badminton singles gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics) in February 1997. Susanti was
    the most dominant women's singles player in the first half of the 1990s, winning the All-
    England in 1990, 1991, 1993 and 1994, the World Badminton Grand Prix finale five times
    consecutively from 1990 to 1994 as well as in 1996, and the IBF World Championships in
    1993. She is the only female player to hold the Olympic, World Championship, and All-
    England singles titles simultaneously. She won the Japan Open three times and the
    Indonesian Open five times. She also won numerous Badminton Grand Prix Series events
    and five Badminton World Cups. She led the Indonesian team to victory over perennial
    champion China in the 1994 and 1996 Uber Cup (women's world team) competitions. All of
    this came during a relatively strong period in women's international badminton. Her chief
    competitors early in her prime years were the Chinese players Tang Jiuhong and Huang Hua,
    and, later, China's Ye Zhaoying and the Korean star Bang Soo-hyun.
    Susanti was inducted into the International Badminton Federation (IBF, currently
    BWF) Hall of Fame in May 2004, and received the Herbert Scheele Trophy in 2002.
    She is married to Alan Budikusuma (Chinese: 魏仁芳), a men's badminton Olympic
    gold medalist (also in 1992) and one of the top men's players in the history of the sport, a
    former Chinese Indonesian badminton player who excelled at the world level from the late
    1980s to the mid-1990s. Together they have three children Lourencia Averina, born 1999,
    Albertus Edward, born in 2000 and Sebastianus Frederick, born in 2003. Alan and Susi have a
    badminton club in Jakarta Udara. Winning an olympic gold medal was historical for
    Indonesia, achieving the first Olympic gold medals in 50 years history of the country. Some
    estimated a crowd of at least 500,000; others estimated more than a million Indonesians
    were lining the streets of the massive, sprawling city of Jakarta when Susi Susanti and Alan
    Budikusuma came home in August 1992 and received a two hour parade. They stood in an
    open car with leis and Olympic gold medals around their necks and inched toward the
    national monument in Merdeka square, on Sudirman, the main street, they could hardly
    move; it was jammed with people all shouting congratulations to the new badminton hero's.
    In 2004, Susi and Alan established ASTEC (Alan and Susy Technology), a sport
    equipment corporation, to support their family. They use materials from Japan for the
    rackets and produced them in China. This brand has been growing up lately and marketed in
    most area in Indonesia. Beside ASTEC, the woman who was born in Tasikmalaya on February
    11 in 1971 also opened a foot reflexology and sports physiotherapy center, “Fontana”. For
    this business, she works together with a former Indonesian badminton player, Elizabeth
    Latief. Now Fontana has four branches, three in Jakarta: Kelapa Gading, Sunter, Pondok
    Indah, plus one in Bogor
