Shi Fangjing (Chinese: 史方静) is a former world level women's badminton player from China.
Career
[edit]A doubles specialist, Shi Fangjing won both women's doubles and mixed doubles at the Polish Open consecutively in 1985 and 1986, each with a different partner. Her biggest titles in badminton, however, all came with countryman Wang Pengren in mixed doubles. They were the surprise gold medalists at the 1987 IBF World Championships in Beijing,[1] and subsequently captured the Badminton World Cup in both 1987 and 1988[2], the Swedish Open, World Badminton Grand Prix, the venerable All England Championships in 1988,[3] and the French Open in 1989. In defense of their title, they were bronze medalists (semifinalists) at the next edition of the IBF World Championships in 1989. Shi starts to decline in performance after that bronze medal performance.[4] Despite that, Shi is being chosen as one of the squad member of 1990 Uber Cup team and manage to win all 4 out of 5 matches where she lost in the dead rubber final match with her pairing Guan Weizhen when the title is already sealed by China.[5][6]. She retired after a bronze medalist in 1990 Asian Games[7] and currently, she is a coach of Shanghai badminton team. [8]
