Cheah Liek Hou (Chinese: 谢儮好[1]; pinyin: Xiè Lìhǎo; born 8 March 1988) is a Malaysian para-badminton player.[2] He is a two-time Paralympic gold medalist and a 14-time World champion at both SU5 singles and doubles events.[3] He won the gold medal in the men's singles SU5 event at the 2020 and 2024 Summer Paralympics, making him the first Malaysian athlete to win a medal in para-badminton. He is the first-ever Paralympic champion in para-badminton.

Early life

[edit]

Cheah was born with Erb's palsy, which causes his right hand to have less strength and stability. He took up badminton when he was nine. He later competed against able-bodied badminton players and joined the able-bodied squad when he was 12 years old.[4] He completed his pre-university education in Bukit Jalil Sports School.[5] He competed in both able-bodied and para-badminton tournaments before exclusively competing in the latter upon obtaining his degree.[6]

Personal life

[edit]

Cheah is married to Dewi Febriana Tan.[7] He has a degree in corporate communications awarded by Universiti Putra Malaysia.[6]
