Han Aiping (Hanzi: 韩爱萍; April 22, 1962 – Oktober 16, 2019) adalah seorang pemain bulu tangkis Tiongkok pada tahun 1980-an yang termasuk salah satu pemain bulu tangkis wanita terhebat. Terkenal karena pukulan overhead-nya yang luar biasa, ia dan rekan setimnya, rivalnya, dan terkadang rekannya di ganda Li Lingwei mendominasi permainan tunggal internasional hampir sepanjang dekade ini, masing-masing memenangkan Kejuaraan Dunia IBF dua kali, dan memimpin tim Tiongkok meraih kemenangan di Piala Uber (dunia, putri dan tim) kompetisi.

Karier

Early career

Han Aiping began her badminton training at the age of 10 in the Wuhan Amateur Sports School. As a highly talented 12-year-old she joined the Hubei provincial team in 1974. In 1977 she finished second at the Chinese national championships and joined the National Chinese team at the age of 16 the following year. In the late 1970s, before China was admitted to the International Badminton Federation (now the Badminton World Federation), it promoted a rival organization, the World Badminton Federation which held its own version of a world championship in both 1978 and 1979. At just 17 Han won women's singles at the second of these. However, her meteoric rise was interrupted by health problems, and after being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in 1980, on medical orders she was forced out of competition for two years. Resuming her badminton training late in 1982, she finished second at the next Chinese National Badminton Championships to another rising young star Li Lingwei. With China having been admitted to the IBF in 1981 Han and her teammates could now compete in all the major world events. In 1983 she won singles at the Japan Open and singles and women's doubles at the Badminton World Cup. At the 1983 World Championships Han defeated her top seeded compatriot Zhang Ailing in the semifinals but was defeated by an increasingly familiar opponent, Li Lingwei, in the finals.

Later career and rivalry with Li Lingwei

Han Aiping and her compatriot Li Lingwei repeatedly faced each other in the singles finals of major international tournaments from 1983 through 1988. Li maintained a won/lost edge in this rivalry, and in three successive winning Uber Cup competitions (1984, 1986, and 1988) played first singles for China ahead of Han at second singles. However, when they faced each other in badminton's most prestigious events, Han was arguably very much Li's equal. For example, Han lost the final of the 1983 World Championship to Li, but defeated Li in their next World Championship showdown in 1987, after having won the previous 1985 World Championship when Li had suffered a rare semifinal defeat. They exchanged victories in two consecutive finals at the venerable All England Championships, badminton's oldest event, with Li winning in 1984, and Han winning in 1985, and also at the China Open which Han won in 1986 and Li won in 1987. Han also won their only meeting at the quadrennial Asian Games in 1986. Throughout their rivalry they remained good friends and were often successful women's doubles partners at a time when, increasingly, elite singles players no longer entered doubles and elite doubles players no longer entered singles. In 1985 they captured women's doubles titles at both the All Englands and World Championships. They won three women's doubles titles together at the now defunct Badminton World Cup in 1983, 1986, and 1987. At the 1987 World Championships where Han won her second consecutive world singles title, she and Li had to settle for silver in women's doubles, losing to their compatriots Lin Ying and Guan Weizhen in the finals.

By 1988 new young stars were emerging from China as well as from South Korea and Indonesia to challenge the Li/Han hegemony. In the exhibition tournament held at the 1988 Seoul Olympics which Li Lingwei did not contest, Han was upset in a close final by South Korea's Hwang Hye-Young. Though she won a number of events in her last two seasons of international play, occasionally Han was beaten by someone other than Li. In particular, China was relying on two young women, Tang Jiuhong and Huang Hua to take over for proven great players who were perhaps wearying of the training and tournament grind. In mid 1989 Han decided to end her playing career.

Kehidupan pribadi

Setelah keluar dari tim bulu tangkis Nasional Tiongkok, Han dan suaminya Guo Ming pergi ke Australia untuk belajar pada bulan Maret 1990. Pada bulan April ia diundang untuk memberikan ceramah di Program Intensifikasi Olimpiade Jepang dan kemudian mengajar di Klub Bulu Tangkis Suntory di Jepang. Pada bulan Juni 1994 ia bertemu kembali dengan suaminya di Australia dan bekerja sama dengan klub bulu tangkis setempat untuk melatih anggota tim untuk berpartisipasi dalam kompetisi atas nama klub. Pada akhir November 2002 ia kembali ke Tiongkok untuk menjabat sebagai pelatih kepala dan kepala tim pengajar dan penelitian Tim Bulu Tangkis Wanita Hubei. Sekolah Dasar Dongfanghong, Distrik Qiaokou, Kota Wuhan, mendirikan sekolah bulu tangkis yang dinamai menurut namanya dan secara resmi meresmikannya pada bulan September 2005. Pada tahun 2013, ia terpilih di Komite Nasional Konferensi Konsultatif Politik Rakyat Tiongkok ke-12.

Han Aiping dan suaminya Guo Ming memiliki dua anak perempuan. Mereka melakukan perjalanan ke Jepang dan Australia bersama anak-anak mereka sebelum kembali ke Wuhan, Hubei, untuk menetap pada tahun 2002. Kemudian, agar putri-putri mereka dapat lebih berinteraksi dengan bahasa Inggris, mereka mengirim mereka ke Singapura. Putri sulungnya, Guo Yushan, mengikuti pelatihan bulutangkis di klub lokal, sedangkan putri kedua, Han Yalu, mengikuti pelatihan tenis.

Kematian

Han dilantik ke dalam Badminton Hall of Fame pada tahun 1998. Dia meninggal pada 16 Oktober 2019 karena kanker paru-paru pada usia 57 tahun.
