Cheah Liek Hou
Cheah Liek Hou (; born 8 March 1988) is a Malaysian para-badminton player. He is an 11-time winner (both Class SU5 singles and doubles events) of the BWF Para-Badminton World Championships. He won the gold medal in the men's singles SU5 event of the 2020 Summer Paralympics, making him the first Malaysian athlete to win a medal in para-badminton. He is also the first-ever Paralympic champion in para-badminton. Early life 
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. He completed his pre-university education in Bukit Jalil Sports School. He competed in both able-bodied and para-badminton tournaments before exclusively competing in the latter upon obtaining his degree. Personal life
