Career
Gu and her regular partner Ge Fei were the world's dominant women's doubles team from the mid-1990s to their retirement after the 2000 Olympics. They won over thirty top tier international tournaments together, including two Olympic competitions and two IBF World Championships (which were then held biennially). They helped China to regain the Uber Cup (women's world team trophy) from Indonesia in 1998, and to retain the Cup in 2000. Gu Jun was elected to the World Badminton Hall of Fame in 2008.
Summer Olympics
Gu competed in the Atlanta 1996 Olympics in women's doubles with Ge Fei. They won the gold medal by beating Gil Young-ah and Jang Hye-ock of South Korea 15–5, 15–5 in the final match.
Gu and Ge successfully defended their women's doubles title in the Sydney 2000 Olympics. They won by the same score as 1996, this time against their compatriots Huang Nanyan and Yang Wei.
