Lee Shun Yang (Chinese: 李洵扬; pinyin: Lǐ Xúnyáng; born 27 June 2001) is a Malaysian badminton player.[1] He is a triple medalist at the SEA Games, winning two silver medals in the men's team event in 2021 and 2023, as well as a bronze in the men's singles event in 2023.
Lee competed in the 2019 World Junior Championships in October, where he lost in the first round to Joakim Oldorff of Finland.[2] In September 2021, he won his first senior title at the Hellas International.[3] In January 2022, Lee reached the semi-finals of the Ukraine Open.[4] A few months later, he helped the Malaysian men's team to clinch silver at the 2021 SEA Games.[5][6]
In May 2023, Lee made his second appearance at the SEA Games. He won a second consecutive silver medal in the men's team event[7] and a bronze medal in the men's singles event.[8] After the SEA Games, Lee suffered four early-round exits throughout the second half of the year.[9] He finished off the 2023 season by participating in the Malaysia International Challenge, losing to Riki Takei from Japan in the quarter-finals.[9] Due to his gloomy results, he was dropped from the national team in December but was offered to become a full-time sparring partner for the national team players.[10]
In 2024, Lee joined Lee Zii Jia's personal team, Team LZJ, as a sparring partner.[11]
