Camilla Martin

Camilla Martin is a Danish former badminton player who won the 1999 World Championship and an Olympic silver medal in 2000, one of only two Danish women to win both the All England and World titles.

Camilla Martin won the 1999 World Championship on home soil in Copenhagen and the 2000 Olympic silver in Sydney to join Lene Køppen as one of only two Danish women in the sport's history to hold both the World title and the All England Open singles crown.. She won the European Junior Championship girls' singles and mixed team titles in 1989, and went on to compete at five Olympic Games between 1992 and 2004, building one of the most decorated careers in Danish women's badminton. Martin's finest achievement came at the 1999 World Championships in Copenhagen, where she won the women's singles title on home soil, becoming, alongside Lene Køppen, one of only two Danish women to have won both the All England Open and World Championship singles titles. She reached the top of the world rankings that year and carried her form into the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where she won the silver medal in women's singles. Martin completed her career Grand Slam-style résumé by winning the All England Open in 2002, defeating China's Gong Ruina in the final, and helped Denmark's mixed team win the Sudirman Cup in both 2002 and 2004. She retired with a career record of 373 wins and 103 losses, and remains one of the most successful and complete Danish singles players in the sport's history.
