Yes Indonesia was the king in badminton in the 70s and 80s and early 90s. I think the Indonesian prestige in badminton has gone down now.
A lot of Indonesian badminton champions are of Chinese ethnicity. Although most of them stay in Indonesia and continue to train new Indonesian athletes, some of these players went back to China and become trainers there. That's the reason that badminton is now dominated by China.
As for my favorite player, it is definitely Rudy Hartono. He's a legend. He won the All England tournament 7 times consecutively which is amazing. He is also known for his coolness under pressure.

Yes you are right. He won the all england tournament 8 times. What I was trying to say was that he won 7 of them in a row.

badminton athletes that I like Hadinata Christian name, he deserves to be a symbol of strength Indonesian badminton . He is a living legend who managed to carve out an international achievement both as a player, coach, and currently as a board Badminton Association of Indonesia.
