Ratchanok Intanon (Thai: รัชนก อินทนนท์, RTGSRatchanok Inthanon, pronounced [rát.t͡ɕʰā.nók ʔīn.tʰā.nōn]; born 5 February 1995) is a Thai badminton player. She has etched her name into badminton history through unparalleled achievements. She first made waves globally by becoming the first player to win three consecutive World Junior Championships titles from 2009 to 2011. Her transition to the senior level was equally historic; in 2013, at age 18, she became the youngest-ever World Champion in the women's singles. Her dominance extended to the continental stage when she captured the gold medal at the 2015 Asian Championships, further solidifying her reputation as one of the most technically gifted players in the world. This is best exemplified by her relaxed hitting motion and light footwork, which has been described as "balletic" by badminton commentators Gillian Clark.[2]

Ratchanok has been a frequent competitor in the SEA Games, winning the individual gold medal in the women's singles and serving as the backbone of the national team. Thailand secured four gold medals in the women's team event at the SEA Games.[3][4]

Career

She lost the singles final to Vietnam's Lê Ngọc Nguyên Nhung.[5] She won her first individual international title in 2009 by winning the Vietnam International Challenge when she was 14.[6] She made history by becoming the youngest-ever champion at the 2009 World Junior Championships at 14 in Malaysia by beating her compatriot Porntip Buranaprasertsuk.[7] She reached the final of the Malaysia International Challenge 2009, losing out to Sapsiree Taerattanachai.[8] She also reached the 2009 SEA Games women's singles final, but lost to her compatriot Salakjit Ponsana.[9]

By winning three Superseries in a row, she also rose to the number 1 spot in the world rankings, becoming the first Thai to achieve this feat. Her winning streak ended after she lost to Sayaka Sato in the Asian Championships.[47]

Ratchanok failed an out-of-competition drug test in April but was not banned by the BWF.[68] The BWF statement reads: "The ethics hearing panel determined Ms. Ratchanok Intanon committed an anti-doping rule violation, but as the athlete was able to demonstrate that her adverse analytical finding was related to the ingestion of meat contaminated with clenbuterol, she was found to bear no fault or negligence for the violation, and thus no period of ineligibility has been imposed on her." She lost again to Chen Yufei in the final of the Hong Kong Open.[69] She participated in the World Tour Finals, where she beat Busanan Ongbamrungphan, lost to Tai Tzu-ying, and lost to Nozomi Okuhara in the last group match.

Personal life

Ratchanok is the daughter of Winutchai Intanon of Yasothon and Kumpan Suvarsara of Roi Et. She was born in Yasothon Province in the northeast of Thailand, but moved at the age of three months with her parents, who worked at the Banthongyord sweets factory in the Bang Khae District of Bangkok. As a child, she would accompany her parents to work. Factory owner Kamala Thongkorn, worried that she would be burned by boiling water and hot sugar, allowed her to play at the factory's badminton courts. She started playing when she was six years old, and won her first championship at the age of seven.[97][98][99][100][101]

Ratchanok used her prize money and endorsement fees to aid her parents and brother. Her father opened a food shop with her help. "I wanted to be a national player like my older friends and play for the country, because that was the only way I could help my parents to improve our status and leave poverty," she has said.[102]

Ratchanok trains at the Banthongyord Badminton School. Her coach is Patapol Ngernsrisuk, former Olympian and son of Kamala Thongkorn.[103]

In 2024, she would retire after 2024 Olympics to work fulltime for the Central Police Station as a detective.[104]
