Career
A badminton prodigy, Audina first played Uber Cup (the women"s world team championship) for Indonesia at fourteen, winning the decisive final match in the championship round against China in 1994. As a Dutch resident she continued to compete, winning titles in both Europe and Asia before retiring from high-level competition in 2006. Top honors in badminton"s three most prestigious events for individual players, the Olympics, the All-Englands, and the World Championships, eluded Audina, though she was twice an Olympic silver medalist in singles (1996, 2004) and was a bronze medalist at the World Championships in 2003.
Her most significant victories included the open singles titles of the United States of America (1996), Singapore (1997), Japan (1997, 2004), Indonesia (1998), of Korea (2003), the Netherlands (2001, 2002), Switzerland (2002), and Taiwan (2000, 2003).
A gritty competitor and, in her youth, exceptionally mobile and supple (she was rarely forced into hitting backhands), Audina was a crowd favorite throughout her career.
