Alexander Alan Budikusuma Wiratama, born Goei Djien Phang (Template:Lang-zh; born 29 March 1968) is an Indonesian former badminton player who excelled at the world level from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s.

Career

In 1991 he was runner-up to China's Zhao Jianhua at the IBF World Championships in Copenhagen. He won the 1992 Olympic men's singles gold medal at Barcelona, defeating compatriot Ardy Wiranata in the final. This achievement, together with a gold medal for his then fiancé Susi Susanti, was historical for Indonesia winning the first Olympic golden medals in 50 years history of the country. A crowd estimated at 500,000 to one million Indonesians lined the streets of Jakarta when Susi Susanti and Alan Budikusuma came home in August 1992 and received a two-hour parade.[1] Governor of West Java Yogie S. M. awarded him an honorary West Java citizenship following his victory.[2]

Among his titles, all in singles, are the Thailand Open (1989, 1991), China Open (1991), German Open (1992), Indonesian Open (1993), World Cup (1993), and Malaysian Open (1995). Budikusuma was a member of world champion Indonesian Thomas Cup teams in 1996.

Personal life

He is married to Susi Susanti (王蓮香), a women's badminton Olympic gold medalist (also in 1992). Together they have three children Laurencia Averina, born 1999, Albertus Edward, born in 2000 and Sebastianus Frederick, born in 2003. Alan and Susi have a badminton club in North Jakarta.[3] Alan Budi has a younger brother named Yohan Hadikusuma who is also a badminton player but representing Hong Kong.
