Datuk Lee Chong Wei DB PJN AMN DCSM DSPN (born 21 October 1982) is a former Malaysian badminton player. As a singles player, Lee was ranked first worldwide for 349 weeks, including a 199-week streak from 21 August 2008 to 14 June 2012.[1][2] He is the fourth Malaysian player after Rashid Sidek, Roslin Hashim and Wong Choong Hann to achieve such a ranking (since official rankings were first kept in the 1980s), and is the only Malaysian shuttler who has held the number one ranking for more than a year.[3]

Lee is a triple silver medalist at the Olympic Games, and the sixth Malaysian to win an Olympic medal.[3] He won his first silver medal in 2008, also the first time a Malaysian had reached the finals in the men’s singles event. This achievement earned him the title Datuk, and led to then Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak describing him as national hero.[4] He repeated the achievement twice more in 2012 and 2016, thus making him the most successful Malaysian Olympian in history.[5]

On 13 June 2019, Lee announced his retirement after struggling to return to full fitness following a nose cancer diagnosis.[6] He was appointed as Malaysia’s chef de mission for the 2020 Summer Olympics.[7]

2018
Lee won his fifth Commonwealth Games gold medal in April,[187] and settled for silver in the mixed team event.[188]

He failed to win any World Tour titles in first half of the year. He bowed out in the first round of Malaysia Masters, a tournament which he claimed he did not intend to participate in,[189] third round of All England Open,[190] and semi-finals of Badminton Asia Championships.[191]

In the team event, Lee managed to win all his matches, in both the Badminton Asia Team Championships and Thomas Cup. Malaysia reached the semi-finals and quarter-finals in the respective events.[192][193]

In July 2018, Lee extended his own record at the Malaysia Open, taking a 12th title in his 14th final,[194] and reached the semi-finals of the Indonesia Open.[195] A week before the World Championships, the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) announced that Lee would not be able to take part in the championships and also the Asian Games as he has to undergo treatment for a respiratory-related disorder. His participation in these two tournaments was in doubt even before the announcement after media reported that he was absent from the training.[196] He was diagnosed with early stage of nasopharynx cancer and received treatment in Taiwan.[197]

Retirement
On 13 June 2019, Lee announced his retirement after almost a year since he was diagnosed with nose cancer and failed to return to competition despite dropping several hints that he would make a return in early 2019. This ended his 19-year-long international badminton career. The retirement came under his doctor’s advice to avoid high-intensity training to avoid a relapse of his cancer.[198][199]

Members of the media and players alike paid tribute to him after the announcement.[200] His career-long rival, Lin Dan, wrote on Sina Weibo that he now has to “head into battle alone, as he no longer has a companion anymore (独自上场没人陪我了)”, and shared a song titled “Don’t Cry, Friend” (朋友别哭).[201]

Son Wan-ho (Hangul: 손완호; Korean pronunciation: [so.nwan.ɦo] or [son] [wan.ɦo]; born 17 May 1988[2]) is a South Korean badminton player. He competed in the singles event at the 2012 Summer Olympics. He competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics, but was defeated by Chen Long from China in quarter-finals. He plays primarily defensively, and began playing badminton after a teacher suggested it to him in elementary school.[citation needed] He holds a bachelor’s degree from Inha University in Incheon, South Korea.[3] In 2017, he helped the Korean national team to reach the final at the Sudirman Cup and won that tournament.[4][5] He is engaged with compatriot women singles player, Sung Ji Hyun.[citation needed]
