Timeline
Datuk Abdul Rashid bin Mohd Sidek (born 8 July 1968) is a Malaysian former badminton player and coach.
He is the youngest of the famous five Sidek brothers.
Rashid and his siblings gained exposure to badminton from their father, Mohd Sidek, a former player turned coach.
Under the guidance of their father, Rashid and the rest of his siblings were trained to be champions from an early age.
Additionally, Rashid was also an alumnus of Victoria Institution from the 1981–1985 batch.
The World Badminton Grand Prix sanctioned by International Badminton Federation (IBF) from 1983 to 2006.
After completing his Sijil Penilaian Menengah (SPM) exam, he was injected into the Project 1988/90 squad with the aim of regaining the Thomas Cup.
In the 1990 Thomas Cup, Rashid played well but Malaysia lost the finals to China 1–4.
He won the Malaysian Open title for three consecutive years in 1990, 1991, and 1992.
As a result, he became known by many as “jaguh kampung” (literally, "local hero").
In the Thomas Cup final in 1992, he beat Ardy Wiranata to give Malaysia the first point in a dramatic 3-2 win over rivals Indonesia - the first championship won by Malaysia in 25 years, and the last to this day.
However, he beat Indonesia's 1995 world champion, Heryanto Arbi, 5-15, 15-11, 15-6 in the third place playoff.
Over the next three years, Rashid's performance declined, but he bounced back in 1996, when he won the Asia Cup and German Open, then reached the finals of the All England before losing to Paul-Erik Hoyer Larsen from Denmark.
His ranking rose to among the top three in the world.
He won the bronze medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, beating the top seed, Joko Suprianto of Indonesia en route to the semi-finals, where he was beaten by Dong Jiong.
Apart from that, he was a coach for Nusa Mahsuri, the first professional badminton club in Malaysia from 1996 to 2002.
Currently, he acts as the advisor for the club which he had set up with his brother, Jalani.
In 1997, Rashid reached the top of the world ranking.
He retired in 2000, when aged only 32, to make way for younger and new generation players.
Upon his retirement, Rashid was appointed as national coach by the Badminton Association of Malaysia from 2003 until 2015.
He became instrumental for the success of the new generation badminton players such as Daren Liew and Chong Wei Feng.
He also became national para-badminton coach, serving as Cheah Liek Hou's coach who won the first ever gold medal in para-badminton at 2020 Summer Paralympics in Tokyo.
