Nguyễn Anh Huy (1943–2006), formerly known as Smas Slayman (Khmer: សម៉ាស សឡៃម៉ាន), was a Cambodian-Vietnamese badminton player and coach. He was one of Cambodia's top badminton players in the 1960s. Originally from Vĩnh Long, he moved to Cambodia at a young age under the name Slayman.[1]

Career

Under the Cambodian national team, he won Cambodia's first international medal in badminton at the 1961 Southeast Asian Peninsular Games when he achieved silver in the men's singles event.[2] In 1966, he competed in the 1966 GANEFO and was part of the Cambodian team that advanced to the finals of the men's team event.[3] He also won a bronze medal in mixed doubles with Thach Thi Sanh.[4]

In 1971, he competed in the 1971 Asian Badminton Championships in Jakarta. Paired with Thi Do My Lanh, they reached the semi-finals of the mixed doubles event but lost out to Indra Gunawan and Intan Nurtjahja 12–15, 5–15.[5] In the bronze medal match, the duo finished fourth after losing to Tata Budiman and Poppy Tumengkol 8–15, 9–15.[6]

He was later appointed as the coach of the Ho Chi Minh City badminton team and nurtured a new generation of Vietnamese badminton players such as Nguyễn Quang Minh and Trần Thanh Hải.[7]
