Liu Yuchen

At 193 cm, Liu Yuchen is a genuine physical anomaly in men's doubles, and watching him work is a lesson in turning size into a weapon. The Beijing-born shuttler was 2018 World Champion, a two-time Asian Champion, and took silver at the Tokyo Olympics alongside Li Junhui. Reaching the top of China's notoriously deep doubles pool is an achievement in itself, never mind the Thomas Cup and Sudirman Cup team titles. What impresses me is the balance: that towering smash gets the headlines, but the soft touch at the net is what made the partnership lethal. He is proof that height, used well, is its own art form.

Liu Yuchen (Chinese: 刘雨辰; pinyin: Liú Yǔchén, born 25 July 1995) is a Chinese badminton player. He was the men's doubles World Champion in 2018, two-time Asian Champion in 2017 and 2018, and also a silver medalist at the 2020 Summer Olympics partnered with Li Junhui. Liu was part of the national team that won the 2018 Asian Games, 2018 Thomas Cup, and 2019 Sudirman Cup.
