Yuhan Tan
Yuhan Tan (born 21 April 1987 in Bilzen, Belgium) is a male left-handed badminton player from Belgium. He is a 9 time Belgian Champion in the men's singles category which makes him the most successful men's singles athlete in Belgian history. In 2008 he was the 2nd youngest men's singles player to qualify for the 2008 Olympics according to the Badminton World Federation criteria. However the Belgian Olympic Committee didn't select him and he was therefore not able to compete. Tan participated, together with his sister Lianne, in the 2012 Summer Olympics.[1]
Yuhan is also a medical student at the University of Maastricht.
In 2013, Tan was elected as a member of the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Athletes' Commission.[2] In 2015, he was appointed as the chair of the BWF Athletes' Commission.
