Soh Wooi Yik belongs to the record of badminton as a competitor whose results still define part of the sport.
The record lists Soh Wooi Yik as Malaysian badminton player.
Soh Wooi Yik was born at Kuala Lumpur in 1998. His recorded nationality is Malaysia.
Modern sport is measured to the hundredth of a second, watched globally and supported by full-time coaching, medicine and analytics.
He competed at 2014 Malaysian Junior International Badminton Championships – men's doubles, badminton at the 2015 ASEAN School Games – men's doubles and badminton at the 2015 ASEAN School Games – mixed doubles.
Athletic careers are short and pitilessly measured, which is what makes the great ones legible.
The honours record reads: Olympic bronze medal and world champion.
That the career was built from Malaysia matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
Soh Wooi Yik is still competing or recently retired, and the final placing in the sport's history is not yet settled.
