[Saba Sports News] Recently, photos of Olympic champion Huang Yaqiong were posted by fans on China’s largest badminton forum, sparking strong interest among fans. From the pictures, it can be seen that Huang Yaqiong is wearing a white strapless evening gown, looking sexy, charming and captivating. The heartwarming scene has prompted fans to leave messages and likes. The 31-year-old Huang Yaqiong was once a female doubles athlete for China’s national badminton team and was hailed as the “No. 1 goddess” in Chinese badminton. After the Rio Olympics cycle ended, Huang Yaqiong no longer competed in women’s doubles but dedicated herself entirely to mixed doubles. Her partner also changed from Lu Kai to Zheng Siwei. Since then, the familiar “Yaqin” pairing was born. Prior to the Tokyo Olympics final, Huang Yaqiong and Zheng Siwei had won all high-level events but lost the most important Olympic mixed doubles final to teammates Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping, winning only silver. However, the “Yaqin” duo did not give up. At the Paris Olympics, their second journey of chasing dreams finally came true, with all matches ending 2-0, demonstrating strong dominance. Winning the long-desired Olympic gold, “Yaqin” filled the last gap in their “Grand Slam”. After winning the BWF year-end finals championship in 2024, Huang Yaqiong announced her retirement from the national team.
