Career

During this time there was still a strict separation between the China-related world association WBF and the much larger association IBF, so that Chen Yuniang could only rarely compete with the sizes of the other association. Tan Giok Nio was born in Indonesia. She started badminton at the age of 10 and became Solo City Junior Champion at the age of 13. At 14 she became the sole champion of Java.
