Judy Devlin (later Judy Hashman) (born 22 October 1935 in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is a former badminton player who won more major international titles than any other player of her era. Devlin began playing badminton with her Irish-born father Frank Devlin when she was seven in the Baltimore, Maryland region of the U.S.A.
where her family had settled.
Under her father's tutelage she developed a badminton game notable for its power, accuracy, and consistency.
After dominating U.S.
junior competition she won her first (adult) U.S.
championship event, women's doubles, with her sister Sue in 1953.
This marked the beginning of the run of success listed below.
She married Dick Hashman in 1960, living in England thereafter and eventually becoming a British citizen.
