Malaysia's most decorated athlete in any sport. Held BWF #1 for 199 consecutive weeks — a record likely never to be broken. Lost three Olympic finals across three consecutive Games (Beijing, London, Rio) — the silver-medal narrative defined his career as much as his footwork did. Beat nasal cancer in 2018 before retiring in 2019.
