Jason Gunawan (; born 18 June 2004) is a badminton player from Hong Kong.[3]

Biography

Gunawan was born on 18 June 2004 in Hong Kong,[4] to Chinese-Indonesian parents.[5] His father played for the provincial badminton team when he was in Indonesia.[6] He became interested in badminton and started learning the sport at four years old after watching the Lee-Lin rivalry during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. As a child, he would go to the local sports center with his father every Sunday to train, and he eventually made the Hong Kong junior badminton team.[7] Lee attended Diocesan Boys' School, and won the Jing Ying All-School competition twice in a row.[8] He dropped out in Form 4 to train as a full-time athlete at the Hong Kong Sports Institute. Three months later, he won the men's singles event at the 2020 National Championships, becoming the youngest player to do so at the age of 16.[9] However, the Sports Institute was eventually shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing Gunawan to take a three-year hiatus from training and only return to competitive sports in May 2022.
