Let’s take a trip down memory lane and celebrate the 25 golden years of the BWF World Championships with some interesting facts:
- Lin Dan of China holds the record for winning five titles in a single discipline, an achievement matched only by Park Joo Bong of Korea.
- Interestingly, five host nations – Switzerland, Scotland, Malaysia, India, and France – are yet to produce a World Championships winner.
- Most of the titles have been won by players from countries that have hosted the event at least once. However, Thailand, Japan, and Korea have also produced world champions, despite never hosting the event.
In addition, the BWF World Championships has witnessed some remarkable moments, such as Jang Hye Ock and Ratchanok Intanon becoming the youngest world champions at the age of 18. Notably, winning an Olympic gold medal doesn’t guarantee success at the World Championships, as many Olympic singles champions have never won this tournament.
China remains the only Member Association to win all five titles at a single edition of the BWF World Championships, achieving this feat in Beijing in 1987, Paris in 2010, and London in 2011. Their dominance in badminton is truly remarkable.
