| Zhang Ning was born on 19 May 1975 in Jinzhou , Liaoning province, a female badminton player from the People's Republic of China . She won the Olympic gold medal for women's singles in both 2004 and 2008. Zhang has played badminton on the world scene since the mid 1990s and has been particularly successful since 2002 while in her late twenties and early thirties, relatively late for singles at the highest level, and especially for top players in the Chinese system who are developed very early. She was the only player of either sex to have won consecutive Olympic singles gold medals.. She first represented China in Uber Cup (women's world team championship) competition in 1994 and last represented it in 2006. The time span of her service is the longest of any Chinese player though she was not always chosen to play in each of the biennial editions of this tournament. |

| Xingfang’s first big title was in girl's doubles, with her provincial team mate Zhang Jiewen, at the World Junior Championships in 1998. She switched to singles, yet she once entered the the Chinese national team. Her 'break-out' year was 2004 as she won several top tier titles on the world circuit. She and her senior compatriot and rival Zhang Ning have been the most dominant women's singles players of the mid to late part of the decade, though they have been pressed by younger teammates such as Zhu Lin, Lu Lan, and Jiang Yanjiao. Not especially an elegant looking stylist, Xie's strengths have been her combination of reach, quickness, consistency, and court sense. Xingfang has contributed victories to China 's last three Uber Cup (women's world team championship and trophy) winning campaigns |
