[edit] Career

Chan Chong Ming competed in badminton at the 2004 Summer Olympics with his then partner, Chew Choon Eng. In the first round, they defeated Theodoros Velkos and George Patis of Greece, but were then defeated in the round of 16 by Zheng Bo and Sang Yang of the China.

After his unsuccessful outing in the Olympics Games, Chan's regular doubles partner was changed to Koo Kien Keat. Together, they won the Malaysia Open in 2006 which was held in Kuching, Sarawak and became the new hope for Malaysia in mens' doubles. However, at the XV World Championships in 2006, they conceded a walkover due to Chan's father's death.

On the run up to the Doha Asian Games XV, Chan sustained an injury which prompted their coach, Rexy Mainaky, to split them, partnering Koo Kien Keat with Tan Boon Heong for the games instead. Chan and Koo's partnership ended when Koo won the title with his new partner.

Now, Chan's partner is Hoon Thien How who was Tan Boon Heong's ex-partner. Chan and Hoon won the Kuala Lumpur Open at the end of 2006.
