Wow, that was a thrashing. Congratulations to all MAS gold medallists (3 events, right?) and of course to Cheah Liek Hou for winning 2 golds. ;)

Good news is Cheah LH can still play for another 20 years, as mentioned earlier, most paralimpic players featured are well into their 30s & 40s :D

Cheah(left) & Suhaili are the ones holding up the no 9, they won the 9th gold for Msia at Para AG. The Msia WS who also won gold I think is the one in badge tudung, 3rd from right,she's 35 according to the profile
(click enlarge on sin chew site if you want a bigger view).

Together with them are all the medalist from other sports
Congrats, hopefully our Paralimpic players will get more recognition in future.;)

SMASHING PAIR: Hou Cheah Liek (left) and Suhaili Laiman rejoice after winning the badminton doubles gold.
“Badminton is not in the London Paralympic Games but efforts are being made by the BWF (Badminton World Federation) for its inclusion,” he said.

“I hope that the performances in the Guangzhou Games will be a great motivation and a launching pad for our athletes as they prepare for the Olympic qualification period next year.
“To me, it is a proud moment to be with these groups of athletes, who overcame so many challenges in their pursuit for honour and glory for Malaysia.”

..may i ask what kind of physical and/or mental disability do these baddy players have?..is it just their age?..cos looking at the picture, they seem to look handicap-free..
*btw, any video of them playing? it should be quite interesting to see them play..

Actually I didnt know Cheah has a defect on his right arm until another BCer mentioned it. His non playing arm looks perfectly normal at 1st glance, but he cant lift it high like we can. That's also why I think he cannot do dives as he cannot balance himself with right arm, cannot recover fast enough for next shot.
Cheah LH/S Laiman won the MD STU 4/5 GOLD, 21-8 21-7. Congrats!
Silver to INA, Bronze to China

Eaglehelang, just for your info., i played numerous times with cheah for the past 3 years at KLRC and don't be deceived by looking his defect left arm!.

He moves, dives and able to play as good as like any other BJSS players and in any given day, together with Pak Chu, they can beat any double player from the Division 2 category (which why they won the 2009 Pahang Open Div.2 BD Category).

He has a bright future esp. in the Paralympics category is concern.
 
cheah is one of the good prospect
and he was once in the bam back up squad
too bad he isn't anymore

This thread only 2 pages lah, I posted the Para BWF categorization in page 1

http://www.parabadminton.org/index.p...100&Itemid=142
http://www.parabadminton.org/index.p...125&Itemid=141

STU 5 =
Standing Above Waist Class 2 - STU5

Mild to moderate impairment of non-playing arm
Minimal disability: loss of 30 points
Profile:


  1. Single BE (below elbow but through or above wrist joint)
  2. Brachial plexus lesion with some residual functions
  3. Dysmelia or similar disabilities comparable with single BE
  4. And comparable impairment profile
What 30 pts means I dunno ya but if you have the opportunity to ever watch this type of players play, you will know, the non playing arm is not fully functioning. Of course I assume they have the doctors letter to proof all this.
The more 'obvious' ones are the ones who have one arm amputated - like the CHina player in the Para AG website.

Cheah's playing arm not left kah? I thought his right arm is the one with defect? And yes, he is good, can beat our back up players also, if he plays MD with an able bodied partner. To play in 'normal' tournaments though, he needs to lose some weight, haha.:p:p

I heard that Cheah LH is currently World Champion For Para Badminton, couldnt find the info though.
