Badminton was a demonstration sport at the Games of 1972 and 1988 before it achieved full Olympic status at Barcelona in 1992, when romance was in the air; the first winners of Olympic badminton titles and Olympic gold medals in any sport for Indonesia, Susi Susanti and Allan Budi Kusuma, were engaged to be married.

Allan Budi Kusuma and Susi Susanti, who won gold medals in the men's and women's singles events, had another consuming passion: each other.
At the Uber Cup, the women's team version of the Thomas Cup, Susanti narrowly won the women's singles title by beating Ye Zhaoying of China in two out of three matches--only to slip down to No. 3 in the international ranking.

 Does Fransisca Haris have potential to be the next Susi Susanti? - Badminton Central Discussion Forums
I think PBSI should give her and other WS players more chances to particpate in the tournament, not only the lower class tournament but also the best one, so that they can feel how to compete in a hard way...especially when she meet Chinese player.....
maybe not yet a 'susi susanti', since shes a legend and definetly 'up there', but since she plays with so much determination and fighting spirit, which i truly admire, that makes her always giving her all even when she knows she will lose, maybe she is the next indonesia's ws heroine
Fransisca is not even close when compared to Susi, who has one of the best strokes among the legendary players, even when compared to the Chinese, very few Chinese ladies come close to Susi.
