Born on March 29, 1998, in Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia, Lee Zii Jia was introduced to badminton by his parents at the age of six. His early talent was recognized during under-12 competitions, leading to his enrollment at the Bukit Jalil Sports School. In 2015, Lee became the junior champion in the Perak and Selangor Badminton Open, securing his place in the Badminton Association of Malaysia. The following year, he earned a bronze medal at the World Junior Championships and reached the final of the India International Series, marking the beginning of his professional career.
Lee’s career progression saw significant milestones in subsequent years. He claimed his first senior title at the Polish International Series in 2017 and his first BWF World Tour title at the 2018 Chinese Taipei Open. By 2019, he was a men’s singles gold medalist at the SEA Games. A major turning point occurred in 2021 when he won his first BWF Super 1000 title at the All England Open, defeating Viktor Axelsen. This victory propelled him further into the spotlight, leading to his Olympic debut at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.
In 2022, after a temporary ban from the Badminton Association of Malaysia was lifted, Lee won the Badminton Asia Championships and the Thailand Open. Despite some fluctuations in his world ranking and periods of injury, he secured his second BWF World Tour title in 2023 at the Arctic Open and another in 2024 at the Thailand Open. His most significant achievement came at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, where he earned a bronze medal in the men’s singles event, becoming the third Malaysian men’s singles player to achieve an Olympic medal.
