Jin Yujia (Chinese: 金羽佳; pinyin: Jīn Yǔjiā; born 6 February 1997) is a Singaporean badminton player.^[1]

Early life

Born in Hangzhou, Jin arrived in Singapore in early 2008 when she was 10 not intending to become an athlete, but rather as a student. She attended Yu Neng Primary School at Bedok and completed her O Levels examinations at Anglican High School at Tanah Merah.^[2]

However, as her mother Yang Nianhong was an ex-Chinese national player in badminton, she was used to playing with the sport recreationally. Eventually, she played well enough to join the Singapore national team on her own merit to play full-time.^[2]

Career

Jin won her first senior international title at the 2017 India International Series tournament in Hyderabad, India.^[3] At the 2018 Mongolia International, she won double titles in the mixed and women's doubles event.^[4]

2022 Commonwealth Games

At the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Jin won the bronze medal as Singapore finished bronze medalists at the mixed team event after defeating England 3–0.^[5]
