Badminton at the 1996 Summer Olympics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Badminton at the 1996 Summer Olympics included the four events held at the previous Games (men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles) as well as a fifth event: mixed doubles. An additional change to the tournament was the playoff game for the bronze medal rather than the awarding of two bronzes.

The tournament was single-elimination. Matches consisted of three sets, with sets being to 15 except in women's singles, where sets were to 11. The tournament was held at the Georgia State University gymnasium.

[edit] Women's singles semifinals

Both of the semifinal matches were Indonesia-Korea rivalries. The first, between Mia Audina of Indonesia and Kim Ji Hyun of Korea, continued Audina's streak of three-set victories. The second semifinal was a rematch of the 1992 final, in which Susi Susanti had defeated Bang Soo Hyun in three sets. After completely dominating one opponent and allowing only ten points in the three matches she had played, Bang won a pair of tight sets against Susanti to advance to the final.
