Xiao Luxi (born 19 July 1982) is a Singaporean former badminton player.
In 1997, she came from China as a 14-year-old, and together with Li Li, Frances Liu and Rong Muxi, were Singapore badminton's pioneer batch of foreign talent.[1]
Career
Xiao was the first of the quartet to make a mark internationally, partnering Liu Zhen to victory at the 2001 Hong Kong Open. That was Singapore's first win on the Grand Prix circuit, and the duo once climbed as high as 11th in the world. Her best result in singles was third place at the 2002 Asian Badminton Championships, when she scalped China's then-world No 20 Hu Ting. In 2003, she won Singapore first ever women's badminton team gold at the 2003 Southeast Asian Games that was held in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City.
She quit the national team in 2004 and returned to Fujian Province, China.[2]
