Icuk Sugiarto (born 4 October 1962) is an Indonesian former champion badminton player.

Career

Largely a speed and power player, Sugiarto won the gold medal at the 1983 IBF World Championships, upsetting fellow countryman Liem Swie King in the final, and the bronze medal at the 1987 and 1989 IBF World Championships. He captured singles titles at the Indonesia (1982, 1986, 1988), Malaysia (1984), Thailand (1984, 1985), French (1988), and Hong Kong (1988) Opens; at the Badminton World Cup (1985, 1986); and at the SEA Games (three consecutive times) in 1985, 1987, and 1989. At nineteen, he shared the 1982 Asian Games men's doubles title with doubles maestro Christian Hadinata. Sugiarto was a member of Indonesia's world champion Thomas Cup (men's international) team of 1984. ^[1]

Sugiarto is well known for his rally game, with accurate lobs and dropshots that are unsettling and quite exhausting for his opponents, relying on his superior physical fitness and strong defensive game.

Personal life

Sugiarto married Nina Yaroh in 1983. They have three children — Natassia Octaviani (1984), Tommy (1988), and Jauza (1999). Tommy and Jauza are also badminton players. Jauza won doubles medals at the junior level; Tommy is an elite men's singles player.
