According to Newsis on the 10th, Ahn Se-young beat Shim Yu-jin of Incheon 2-0 (21-14 21-9) as Busan’s two-game singles player in the 105th National Sports Festival Badminton Team Qualifier held at Miryang Badminton Stadium in Gyeongsangnam-do on the 9th.
It is the first time in about two months that Ahn Se-young played an official match since the final match in the women’s singles at the Paris Olympics in August. In an interview after winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics, Ahn Se-young drew attention for criticizing the national team’s injury management, training management and the association’s decision-making system.
Due to knee injuries, Ahn Se-young missed both the Japanese Open and the Korea Open from August to September.
After winning the singles in two games, Ahn Se-young couldn’t open her mouth immediately and stopped to cry when asked by reporters whether her love for badminton grew. “Since I achieved my dream of winning the Olympic gold medal, it is my mindset as a player to run toward a new goal,” said Ahn Se-young, who collected her emotions. “I will try to become myself that goes beyond Ahn Se-young so far.”
