Luo Yu (Chinese: 骆羽; born 11 January 1991) is a Chinese badminton player who specializes in doubles. Together with her twin sister, Luo Ying, they competed in the international badminton, and were ranked as World number 1 on 10 March 2016.[1] The twins participated at the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics but did not advance to the knocked-out stage after placing third in the group stage.[2] The biggest title of their career to date, the 2015 BWF Superseries Finals, sent the pair to #1 in the world rankings.[3]
