Mohamed Razif Mohd Sidek (born 29 May 1962) is a former badminton player from Malaysia and coach.[1][2]
Personal life
He is the second eldest of the five Sidek brothers. Razif and his siblings gained exposure about badminton sport from their father, Haji Mohd Sidek. Razif Sidek is one of the alumni of Victoria Institution (batch 1975–1980).[3]
He is married to a former model, Khalidah Khalid and the couple has five children.[4] In addition, his youngest son, Mohd Fazriq is also active in badminton.[5] He became a grandfather in December 2018, after one of his children became a first-time parent.[6]
Career
His regular partner is his younger brother, Jalani. Razif won a gold medal for Malaysia at the 1982 Commonwealth Games doubles with Ong Beng Teong.[7] They won the All England Championships in 1982 after beating the Scottish pair, Billy Gilliland and Dan Travers.
The Sidek brothers won almost every title on offer during their playing career, including the World Grand Prix, World Cup, SEA Games, Commonwealth Games and Asian Championships. They introduced the “S” Service, which caused a deceptively erratic shuttle movement. The service was eventually banned by the International Badminton Federation (IBF).[8]
He was also a member of the Malaysian squad that won the Thomas Cup for the first time in 25 years, in a 3–2 victory over Indonesia at the National Stadium in 1992.[9] He was the first Malaysian athlete to win an Olympic Games medal in Barcelona 1992.[10] They won a bronze medal for Malaysia after reaching the semi-finals in the men's doubles category where they lost to the Korean pair, Park Joo-bong and Kim Moon-Soo.[11]
Coaching
After he retired, he served as Malaysian national head coach from 1994 until 1996.[12] Razif guided Cheah Soon Kit-Yap Kim Hock to Malaysia's first-ever Olympic silver medal at the 1996 Atlanta Games.
