Lee Yang is a Taiwanese badminton player and 2020 Olympics men’s doubles champion. Yang is one of the few players from the island nation who has put Taiwan on the badminton circuit. Moreover, the gold medal of Tokyo has lifted Lee to a celebrity figure at the international as well as domestic level.
Yang started his doubles journey with Lee Jhe-Hui. The duo became champions in the 2016 Vietnam Open Grand Prix. Subsequently, they entered the 2015 Chinese Taipei Masters Grand Prix, 2015 Vietnam Open Grand Prix, and 2015 Korea Masters Grand Prix Gold. In the consequent year, they entered the 2016 Chinese Taipei Open Grand Prix Gold, 2016 Thailand Open Grand Prix Gold and 2016 Dutch Open Grand Prix. Later on, he won the men’s doubles title at the 2017 French Open. In 2018, he competed at the Asian Games and won bronze medals in the men’s doubles and team events.
However, keeping every win aside, the most cherishable win for Yang is perhaps the Olympic gold in Tokyo. He partnered with Wang Chi-lin to defeat the 2018 World Champion pairing of Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen in the final. Everyone had thought that Li & Liu would win the contest easily. But the Taiwanese duo thrashed them in straight sets (21-18 & 21-12) to take the gold medal. In the process, they became the first unseeded pair to win an Olympic gold in the men’s doubles. Moreover, they became the first to win gold in badminton for Chinese Taipei. Naturally, with the Paris Olympics knocking at the door, the duo will set again on their quest to defend their gold medal.
