Participates in the Indonesian Open and undergoes final inspection at the Paris Olympics
‘Badminton Empress’ Ahn Se-young (Samsung Life Insurance) regained her confidence through the ‘2024 Singapore Open Badminton Championships’, where she won the championship by defeating her rival Chen Yu-fei (China).
On the 4th (Korean time), the Badminton World Federation (BWF) introduced an interview with Ahn Se-young, who will play in the ‘Indonesia Open’ after winning the ‘Singapore Open’, through its official channel.
Ahn Se-young, who injured her right knee during the final of the ‘2022 Hangzhou Asian Games’ in October last year, had both expectations and concerns before participating in the ‘Singapore Open’.
Seyoung Ahn said, “Those doubts (towards me) sometimes put a lot of pressure on me,” and “Now all I have to do is believe in myself again. “I am grateful for all the lessons I have learned during this difficult time.”
He continued, “I would like to express my gratitude to the coaches and trainers, but words cannot express it all. I’m really happy to be able to repay the times we cried and laughed together. “It was a difficult and difficult time,” he added.
Se-young Ahn overcame her concerns about herself to win the Singapore Open. This is her third win of the year, following the ‘Malaysia Open’ she won last January and the ‘French Open’ in March.
She especially stood at the top, defeating world number two and her rival Chen Yufei 2-1 (21-19 16-21 21-12) in the final. “If I had lost, my coach would have pushed me harder,” she joked. “So I focused on scoring points every time.” With the opening of the ‘2024 Paris Olympics’ approaching in 51 days, Ahn Se-young will participate in the ‘Indonesia Open’ following the ‘Singapore Open’ for her final inspection. Finally, Ahn Se-young said, “The biggest thing I gained here (Singapore) is that I gained confidence,” and she strengthened her resolve, saying, “I want to win every game in Jakarta (Indonesia) as well.” 스포츠토토
