1

Bambang Suprianto (born 20 February 1969) is a retired badminton player from Indonesia.

Career

A durable all around player who won singles at the Singapore Open in 1991, Suprianto's greatest success came in doubles events. In the mid-1990s he and fellow countryman Rudy Gunawan formed one of the world's leading men's doubles teams. They won several top tier international titles, including the 1994 All-England Championship, but could not quite keep pace with countrymen Rexy Mainaky and Ricky Subagja who became the decade's most successful pair. Suprianto was a member of Indonesia's world champion Thomas Cup (men's international) teams in 1994, 1996 and 2002. After Rudy Gunawan's retirement, Suprianto focused on mixed doubles and continued his high level of play by winning international titles with a variety of partners. He and Zelin Resiana narrowly missed a medal at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Late in his international career, Suprianto teamed with another mixed doubles specialist, Tri Kusharjanto to gain a very unexpected men's doubles victory at the 2001 Asian Championships over the reigning Olympic champions Tony Gunawan and Candra Wijaya in the final, and previously in 2000 won the mixed doubles event with Minarti Timur.
