One of international badminton's leading singles players Zhu Lin's titles include the Thailand (2006, 2007), Indonesia (2006, 2008), and Malaysia (2007) Opens, and, most notably, the 2007 BWF World Championship in Kuala Lumpur. She is a member of China's perennial world champion Uber Cup team. Her most recent achievements include taking Gold at the USA (2010).Curiously, despite her status as the then reigning world champion, she was not selected to compete in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, a victim of China's great depth in women's badminton and rules which limit the number of entrants from any one country.
