The silver medal he won from the 2024 Paris Olympics was the biggest achievement in his career in major tournaments.
He Bingjiao was first recognized after occupying the runner-up position under Japan's women's singles, Akane Yamaguchi, at the 2014 BWF Junior World Championships.
He then managed to beat the same opponent when they met in the Youth Olympic Games finals of the same year when China hosted.
After the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics were completed, He Bingjiao and his compatriots, Chen Yufei, also became the mainstay of China. These two names replaced their senior stars, such as Wang Yihan, Wang Shixian, and Li Xuerui, who retired.
In that year, He Bingjiao was recorded to have won the title at the Japan Open by defeating his compatriot, Sun Yu, and stopping Beiwen Zhang at the French Open.
The next titles pocketed by He Bingjiao are BWF World Tour, Denmark Open, and France Open 2022. In the last two tournaments, he defeated Chen Yufei and Spanish star Carolina Marin.
Marin and He Bingjiao met again in the semifinals at the 2024 Paris Olympics. At that time, Marin had won the first game and was ahead in the second game, but then gave up due to injury.
He Bingjiao is part of the team that won the 2024 Uber Cup. Meanwhile, the biggest achievements at the individual level were the bronze medals for the 2018 and 2021 World Championships.
