[edit] Career

Wong Choong Hann's career began with the 1991 Malaysian Open, however he failed to progress to the important stages of the tournament.

The first tournament he won was the 1997 Dutch Open. So far after 14 years in the badminton world, he has only managed to win 5 titles. He represented Malaysia in 2002, where Malaysia emerged runners-up to Indonesia in the Thomas Cup championships.

Wong Choong Hann played badminton at the 2004 Summer Olympics in men's singles, defeating Przemysław Wacha of Poland in the first round. In the round of 16, Choong was himself defeated by Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia.

The lowlight of his career occurred during the 2006 Thomas Cup where he injured himself by snapping an Achilles tendon while playing in a quarter final match against South Korea, he is required to rest for almost 6 months. He made a comeback to the sport in the Asian Games later in 2006 but was clearly far from his best times.
