BWF profile

Huang Chao (Chinese: 黄超) (born 30 June 1992) is a Singaporean badminton player. He was born in Hubei, Republic of China. He joined the Singapore Badminton Association (SBA) on the Foreign Sports Talent Scheme in 2004 when he was 12 years old. The three-time provincial junior champion, whose father Huang Kai was a national player for China in the 1980s, became a citizen in 2010. That year, he was Singapore's lone badminton representative at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games (YOG). He made it to the quarter-finals, upsetting India's second seed B. Sai Praneeth along the way.[1] The YOG remains the biggest highlight of Huang's career.

Huang was part of the squad who won men's team bronzes at the 2009 and 2011 SEA Games. He also played a part in the mixed team bronze at 2014's Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

Huang retired from the Singapore national badminton team on 1 September 2015 due to shoulder injury. He is expected to remain in Singapore and has not ruled out the possibility of working with the Singapore Badminton Association in the future.
